"It’s not only his [Mike Flanagan] best film yet, but it’s the work he’s been building up to over his entire career."
— Chase Hutchinson, TheWrap
"Instead, The Life of Chuck is one of the most insightful and moving philosophical films ever made, a movie that's as much Kierkegaard as it is King."
— Bill Brian, Slashfilm
"It features an excellent ensemble cast who bring tremendous heart to each of their cinematic segments, and represents Stephen King at his most sentimental and uncynical."
— Audrey Fox, Looper
"The Life of Chuck is a modern fable told with the deftness of a fairy tale, with the sheer exuberance of a musical while exuding the same sense of wonder one gets staring up at the heavens."
— Jason Gorber, Collider
"If you want to go for the really scary stuff, there are plenty of other King movies for that. “Chuck” instead is something truly special, a moving fantasy of a life well lived and no dance step left untaken."
— Brian Truitt, USA Today
"It’s one of this year’s best movies. I don’t know how it will fare at the box office, but I can see it becoming a beloved favorite in the same way 'The Shawshank Redemption' ultimately did. Like that classic, this one really makes you think about life and the things we take for granted."
— Odie Henderson, Boston Globe
