A Lista da Minha Vida

After watching this film, I could say it was inspired by P. S. I Love You, but changing it to a mother's love and showing her daughter that when you walk down the road of life you can get lost, and to find yourself, you need to remember what you wanted to be. Sofia Carson acts cleanly, showing sympathy and involving you in her character; certain parts can be perfectly related to one's life, making it clear that not everything is fiction.

There are several lines from the film that I can take away. And although the film is predictable: love always triumphs even after death, and if a mother sees her son lost, even with her last breath she will try to advise him and make him understand that we can't settle for less. Yes, I recommend the film, so put it on your list.

I don't get why Netflix casts this actress for main roles. The movie could have been so much better if someone else was portraying Alex. It seemed to me the whole time she was trying to keep her hair unmoveable. Her face and frame is staying still in moments when she could have shown some spark. It annoys me how she is whispering her words. I didn't believe her for a second she is "Alex", I didn't see the character - only the actress pretending to be someone. I had the same issue with her in the other main role for Netflix - Purple hearts. Exactly the same face and hair issue, all the same "play", whispering and posing beautifully. I mean - she is very beautiful, no denying that.

The movie is good, perfectly predictable, plain and flat. You get it from the title. From the 5th minute on you know what is going to happen and almost exactly how. All of the characters you have already seen in all the other movies of the same type, no surprise whatsoever, no complexity. Worth for killing 2 hours.

I liked the story overall, I think the book is probably good. Haven't read it yet, maybe will some day.

A bucket (life) list with a twist , as being part of the terms of an inheritance.

Yes it's a predicatable love story, but if you like the genre, the journey is very pleasant .

The pace and acting is consistent throughout, it kept me entertained without peaks or troughs, a consistent quality of story telling.

If you likke films like 'Love Actually' or 'Notting Hill' then I suspect you will enjoy this for an evening's entertainment with a glass of wine.

Solid 7.5/10 and I could watch it again at a later date. A good old fashioned love story and finding oneself .

If you're looking for action, violence, sex and swearing, this is definitely not a film for you .

The Life List is a nice watch - warm, well-paced, and not overly dramatic. What stayed with me most is the message: pain and loss are part of life, but suffering is a choice. That idea isn't presented in a preachy way - it's just woven into the characters' decisions, especially as the main character starts reconnecting with what actually matters.

The portrayal of the mother-daughter relationship was especially well done. It shows how grief can create distance but also bring people back together, without sugarcoating the process.

It's the kind of movie that makes you pause - not because it's groundbreaking, but because it reminds you of things you already knew but maybe forgot. Like how helping others can also heal something in you.

I'm about to be offensive, but no offence, the lead actress seems like she hasn't ever lost anyone in her life, her line delivery especially the first time meeting the lawyer and saying "I just lost my mother" had absolutely no depth, no tears, no emotions, not even grief. No voice control, no empathy for the character shes playing. As shes watching videos from her dead mother there aren't even tears in her eyes, even as she watches the last video she seems to value looking pretty more than showing actual emotion. I really liked the male lead and all the other characters but I really wonder what happened behind the audition process that made her the lead. I could imagine so many young actresses doing a better job and making this a fantastic film. I'm not saying this as something like a hate comment, just that she really needs to think about loss and emotions and get in to the story. I often put my hand over her motionless face to at least try and focus at the story because she was just playing a pretty girl that doesn't want to get ugly. The story made me cry on multiple occasions imagining the young girls struggle yet the young girl acted like it was a vacation trip with her friend calling her on face-time not her dead mother continuously saying her last words to her from a dvd. Like she never even had her lips quiver for more than a milisecond (didn't want to be ugly, I guess, or just a bad actress) never had the horrible situation of not being able to finish a sentence, having words stuck in her throat because of grief or at least speaking like she has a lump in her throat -- actual real, raw and ugly human emotions after losing the most loved person. It made me so angry! Couldn't she at least try to take breaths before speaking? Even if we imagine that she was a cold and prideful character, we didn't even see her actually blocking the emotions that would almost come apparent. Never saw her swallowing tears, any despair, anything!! Absolutely horrible acting from someone in such a vulnerable role. Every actor should know their limits and not go for roles that they are not ready for.
