My Life | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The overall narrative seems to drag itself out like a lengthy illness.

This is the kind of bittersweet, dire-affliction performance that always bowls over the Motion Picture Academy voters. But this time, assuming they nominate the picture, even they will be right.

The sincere, often touching story tugs shamelessly at the heartstrings.

The film is, as Rubin is fond of saying in interviews, a "life-affirming" film and has something to say about how we should view our brief stay on the planet.

Despite all Rubin's efforts to bring life and energy to My Life, this is no roller-coaster ride. It's more like being stalled, with a newborn babe in arms, in the dead center of the bumper car ride.
