Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express A singular moment that comes riding on such a lifelike performance from Nighy that it doesn’t seem like acting at all. Apr 3, 2023 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au The movie is a slow-burn that never accelerates but Bill Nighy’s performance makes it a compelling experience. Rated: 3/5 Mar 19, 2023 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald The film itself is like eating a rich dessert: you marvel at all the constituent parts, but when it’s over, you may have regrets. It is lush and richly textured, like the old colour footage of London that we see in the credits, but just a little pushy. Rated: 4/5 Mar 16, 2023 Full Review Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews Living soars beyond simple storytelling to reveal an undeniably heartfelt experience with redefining one’s life—even if it’s at the very end. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Daryl MacDonald InSession Film Its unshowy, no-frills filmmaking, including a 1.33:1 aspect ratio meant to evoke the period alongside cinematographer Jamie Ramsay's boxy framing, might put viewers off. However, surrender yourself to this quiet, contemplative piece of cinema... Rated: A Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Prabhjot Bains Tilt Magazine Though firmly in the colossal shadows of Kurosawa, Living’s ability to uplift and stir is never compromised, flourishing in a space few remakes ever graze.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/23 Full Review deb Bill Nighy gives a masterful performance in the movie "Living" - a performance worthy of his 'best actor' Academy Award nomination. A must see movie that offers fresh perspective of how an act of kindness pays it's way forward in surprising ways.
