Welcome back, cine-lovers! It’s your gal Reel Pixel, and I’m here to spill the cinematic tea on *The Life List*! Picture this: Sofia Carson stars as Alex Rose, a woman on a whirlwind journey to complete a bucket list her late mother crafted for her childhood self. Directed by Adam Brooks, this Netflix drama-rom-com mashup gives us family secrets, self-discovery, and a sprinkle of romance with the ever-charming Kyle Allen as Brad.

Let’s cut to the chase: this film serves up feels on a silver platter. Carson dazzles as Alex, bringing authenticity and emotional depth to a role that could’ve easily veered into cheesy territory. Her moments of grief and joy are heartbreakingly raw, and her chemistry with Allen? Chef’s kiss!

But hold up—it’s not all rainbows and heartfelt montages. Sure, the themes of love, loss, and resilience are powerful, but the storytelling leans a bit too hard on vignettes, which sometimes dulls the emotional punch. That said, the pacing is solid, making its 2-hour runtime feel surprisingly breezy.

Now, let’s talk aesthetics! This film is all pastel palettes and cozy vibes, perfect for a night in. While it won’t revolutionize cinema, *The Life List* is a warm hug of a movie—ideal for anyone who loves a cathartic cry and a hopeful ending.

So, grab the tissues, pour the wine, and stream *The Life List* on Netflix—because sometimes, a heartstring-tugging tale is just what the movie doctor ordered!
