This film comes close to being the perfect combination of a love story and a supernatural fantasy. We don’t often warn you, but all text after this is a kind of a spoiler. We went in without knowing what to expect and were delightfully surprised. So if you prefer to be surprised too…this is the moment to stop reading!
What if you had the chance to pick up where love left off after death, but had to decide what date would last for eternity? David Freyne’s charming afterlife comedy Eternity takes a simple premise of a person forced to choose between two potential partners and turns it into a cleverly built world full of emotional relationship dynamics.
Directed by David Freyne, the film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, starring Marvel actress Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller (Whiplash, Top Gun: Maverick), Callum Turner (Emma, Fantastic Beasts), and Oscar winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers).
Awards
Eternity received a Critics' Choice Awards nomination for Best Comedy.
