Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter 4h
This Sliding Doors-style thought experiment is too tidy to provoke much feeling, rendering universal concepts like “fate” and “purpose” and “love” into abstractions rather than the stuff of life. Go to Full Review Pete Hammond Deadline Hollywood Daily 4h
What Doremus has done though, is to make his own thing with a similar concept, a film greatly enhanced by the lilting presence of Clarke, who is wonderful in this role(s), showing us the glory of fate, and its price. Go to Full Review Joey Magidson Awards Radar 17h
3/4
Next Life is another romantic drama with big feelings from Drake Doremus. Go to Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net 3d
Next Life is the kind of movie you could go to with friends and then have a good discussion after but yet it still manages to be a pleasant time Go to Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest 3d
A riff on "Sliding Doors" that rides the strength of an engaging lead turn from Emilia Clarke to charm. Go to Full Review Sara Clements Next Best Picture 3d
8/10
The film’s central idea that in the next life you can try again is one it clings to successfully, and ties up so well in the end. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
