New Life (I) (2023)
8/10
I do not give good ratings lightly.
27 May 2024
I went into this knowing nothing beyond the blurb and a couple of posters, and that's honestly how I recommend watching it. If you're interested in doing just that, stop reading reviews and go do it. I don't ever post spoilers, but even knowing how a person feels about a movie can impact your experience, and this is one I think you ought to try without any expectations.

As for how I felt - I could not look away; it hit me in all the right ways, from suspense to excitement to emotion. Honestly feels like the kind of movie English students could be studying in a few years time. There's a lot here for a variety of movie-buffs, so I wholeheartedly recommend giving it a blind watch. Even if it doesn't tickle you the same way, you're still likely to find something that resonates.

For me, I feel like this could be up there in my favourites, but I'll need to see it again before making that conclusion. I genuinely struggle to fault it with my first watch-through; I was too hooked and all my critique went out the window! I genuinely hope you feel the same.
