Storyline
The Life of Chuck (2025) follows the life of Charles “Chuck” Krantz in reverse-chronological order: from his death as the universe ends back through adulthood and into his childhood. Along the way, Chuck’s ordinary life reveals extraordinary threads—love, loss, sacrifice, and purpose—woven into a cosmos that reminds him he is more than a small man in a wide world.
Why It’s Our Vibe
From director Mike Flanagan, this adaptation of a Stephen King novella melds everyday humanity with cosmic wonder. Tom Hiddleston anchors the film with quiet gravitas, aided by a standout ensemble including Chiwetel Ejiofor and Karen Gillan. It’s bold in structure, intimate in emotion, and ultimately uplifting—turning existential questions into a beautiful tribute to the brief but meaningful spark of a life.
