    Just watched The Life of Chuck, a movie that teeters on the edge of cloying sentimentality but manages to keep its balance. There's a good mix of melancholy alongside the feel-good moments, and while it's maybe not as profound as it strives to be, it's a solid fantasy #drama. #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

    Last night, I caught an advanced screening of "The Life of Chuck." This is some of @mikeflanaganfilm.com and Stephen King's most personal work and demands to be seen on the big screen.
