As a young New York City couple goes from college romance to marriage and the birth of their first child, the unexpected twists of their journey create reverberations that echo over continents and through lifetimes.

“I was hesitant to invest the time in this film after reading critic reviews but I can absolutely say they were truly too harsh with Life Itself. No surprise but itu0026#39;s very reminiscent of u0026#39;This Is Usu0026#39; and instead of an episodic narrative itu0026#39;s condensed to a two hour multi-chaptered film. While it did feel closer to three hours at points, thereu0026#39;s a clear disconnect between the current reviews and the actual film performance. It was very emotional and most of the movie I had a lump in my throat. The way itu0026#39;s structured itu0026#39;s almost like three movies in one but the way it all comes together was so fascinating to watch as an audience member. My vote is you give it a shot, itu0026#39;s a really creative story.”
