A Beautiful Life (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Anna Menta Decider A Beautiful Mind is beyond clichéd—it’s borderline non-sensical. Jan 19, 2024 Full Review A Beautiful Life (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz All I'm gonna say about A Beautiful Life, is if you like the yearning nonsense that passes for "a ballad" on the trailer, then this film is exactly what you deserve. Jun 7, 2023 Full Review A Beautiful Life (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Despite some small setbacks, A Wonderful Life captures the essence of dreams and the struggle to realize them while providing us with an unforgettable soundtrack that becomes a fundamental pillar of the story. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Jun 7, 2023 Full Review A Beautiful Life (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Jennifer Green Common Sense Media A Beautiful Life is a small cut above many of the romances Netflix has churned out in recent years. Its dramatic points are a little edgier and a little less predictable, and the romance is more mature. Jun 6, 2023 Full Review A Beautiful Life (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Rohan Naahar The Indian Express A cliched drama with all the ingenuity of a musical act manufactured by Simon Cowell for shopping malls and the VMAs. Jun 3, 2023 Full Review A Beautiful Life (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Roger Moore Movie Nation Insipid and inane. Rated: 1/4 Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Charlene N Great film and the music was amazing!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Esmarie C Beautiful story and music. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review SkyRo P The movie served its purpose in passing the time, but it lacked the excitement to warrant a repeat viewing.Despite some challenges with the dubbing, I managed to make it through the film. The music, while humorous, failed to leave a lasting impression, and the plot felt rushed, with a heavy push in the beginning.As the story progressed, the third act fell flat, lacking the anticipated thrill. It seemed to rely on forced emotions to reignite interest, but ultimately failed to deliver a compelling conclusion. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review dk p the music is great . Each song fits the scene to a tee.I couldn't understand the plot in Episode 1 and it wasn't until I got to Episode 3 that I started getting it and enjoying the movie.The movie is kinda a "feel good romance" story Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review John O Inga is beautiful enough to be Cobie Smulders' sister. Main character not a bad singer. Rest of it is beyond predictable, cliched, unimaginative. Some of it downright dumb. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review W T Stilted script dialogue detracted from the romantic and upbeat music. Way too much swearing that added nothing to plot or character development. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
