Pour l'éternité

My husband and I saw this pre-release as the "mystery movie" at our local theater and both enjoyed it. The actors did a great job and you really felt like the young characters were the actual younger version of the senior characters. It had an enjoyable plot that kept you laughing and interested to find out how it would end the entire time. In the end, we were happy with the final ending :)

Watched at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival.

Eternity is a solid comeback to the fantasy and romantic comedy genre with a good sense of a humor and three fun lead performances from Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller and Callum Turner.

Let's be honest, the narrative and concept isn't really grand as previous movies like Defending Your Life and other romance movies have discussed stories like this before. Which is true that the writing is predictable, the structure is basic and the characters are pretty much one-noted or the typical kind of characters you witness from the romance genre. Yet, the movie still is fun because of the three strong chemistry between Olsen, Teller and Turner, which all three proves great conversations, chemistry and interactions between one another.

Observing their conversation, comedic tone and personalities were the best aspects about the movie. Alongside with some nice production designs and solid camerawork. Although some of the humor didn't land, certain pacing does drag, as a whole, it is a solid romance movie that is a good one time watch.

Firstly, the idea is new and unusual. Until about the middle, it's just interesting, then the plot with the incomprehensible throwing of the characters slips a little, but at the end - almost to tears: all these breakups with feelings... Although it seems that they could have made the story deeper and more dramatic, but it's still very good and exciting.

This was like reeeeeally wonderful. Charming, magical, human, what movies are about. The premise had me in a choke-hold; you'll think about your own life, your choices, your loves, your legacy, your mortality. And if you'd do anything different. Cried like 5 times. Put Da'Vine Joy Randolph in everything.

Just left the preview screening of Eternity and I am... shook. I fell in love with this one from the trailer and it absolutely did not disappoint. It's proper old-school romcom vibes but with a magical, mind-bending twist: Joan finds herself in the afterlife and has just one week to decide where - and with whom - she wants to spend eternity. From the first scene, I was hooked. The afterlife world is whimsical, heartbreaking, funny - basically everything you didn't know you needed.

All we are is a collection of memories, right? This film gets that so perfectly. Elizabeth Olsen is just gorgeous, and honestly one of the best actresses of our generation. She's charming, human, magical all at once and I was bawling my eyes out multiple times. Her and Miles Teller (and Callum Turner)? Chemistry for days. My heart genuinely hurt in the best way.

It's clever, emotional, funny and so relatable. I laughed, I cried, I felt. If you love romcoms that actually stick with you, this is it. Go see it, fall in love, have your heart broken a little - it's so worth it.
