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 (2025) was surprisingly easy to sit through, even with its longer runtime. The pacing was pretty well-balanced, which helped a lot. I appreciated how the story packed in life lessons without getting preachy or feeling like it was dragging. It had this light tone that made it watchable while still trying to say something meaningful, even if it didn't always dig as deep as it could've.
The directing was a bit safe, and while that's not always a bad thing, I think the movie could've gone a little further with emotional depth. A lot of the focus is placed on how the main character reacts to situations, but sometimes it felt like the movie brushed past what actually mattered in the moment. The acting, though, made up for a lot of that. The leads did a solid job carrying the weight of the story. The supporting cast was hit-or-miss, but nothing that pulled me out of it.
Visually, it looked great. The cinematography was smooth, with a nice mix of bright tones and more grounded scenes that worked well with the mood. I also really liked the music choices. The soundtrack wasn't overwhelming but it blended in perfectly, adding just enough to keep the emotional beats working. The script had its flaws, sure, but it didn't feel forced. It served the story, and even if it leaned into familiar territory, it didn't lose its charm. All in all, it's not groundbreaking, but it's a comforting watch with a decent message.

Made me smile, made me cry and everything in between. Absolutely lovely and touching, showing a story about growth and change, as well as family relationships and a touch of romance.
Not every movie has my full attention, but this one has gripped me from the start. I don't think even a part of it was remotely boring or uninteresting or unimportant for the overall story.
Even though the main point of the movie was Alex trying to complete her life list that she made when she was a teenager, it didn't feel childish whatsoever. They approached it from a mature perspective and showed what growth and change for Alex looked like.
A rare movie without any violence, any explicit content, just so pure and touching.
Everyone's performance in this movie was amazing, and especially Sofia's.
Definitely worth watching!

The movie had an interesting premise, but the execution was disappointing. The biggest issue was the lead actress, who failed to convey any real emotion. Her performance felt lifeless, making it hard to connect with her character. She had absolutely no chemistry with anyone, especially the love interest, which made their relationship unconvincing and awkward. This seems to be a recurring problem in her other films as well. Weak direction, uninspired storytelling, and poor pacing only made things worse. The film lacked depth, excitement, and impact, making it ultimately forgettable. Too long for its own good.
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.
