: "Mike Flanagan's The Life of Chuck is a stunner and one of the all-time great Stephen King adaptations."

gives it a B-, referencing the sentimental nature of the new movie. "As a filmmaker, Flanagan deals in raw, go-for-broke emotion; it’s just that tওhis time around, he’s using that passion to affirm the audience, not disturb them." 

calls it Flanagan’s "best film yet" with their reviewer Chase Hutchinson writing: "It’s Flanag💙an’s vibrant equivalent of Charlie Kaufman’s ‘Synecdoche, New York’ that finds hope and meaning in his own way just as it is one of the best modern Stephen King a😼daptations one could hope for."

Brian Tallerico was a fan of the film, writing: "Much was made in the run-up to Chuck about it being a bit of a departure for the horror director, and there’s indeed no gore and only a bit of the supernatural here. But Flanagan’s work, espꦫecially the Haunting𒀰 Netflix shows, has also been distinguished by deep emotional undercurrents, and that’s the tool from his kit that he leans into most of all with this moving study of how valuable every moment is that we’re on this floating ball of dust."

Other reactions were more lukewar💝m. gave it a score of 5, with their reviewer A.A. Dowd𒁏 writing: "Erasing any doubt as to who’s the world’s most dedicated adapter of Stephen King stories, Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan returns with a faithful-down-to-the-reverse-chronology take on one of the author’s less scary stories: a hokey metaphysical fable about life, death, the end of the world, and dancing like nobody’s watching."
