Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Chris BARSANTI @ PopMatters
- Excerpt: Oliver Hermanus’ Living, a faithful remake of Akira Kurosawa’s Ikiru, stars Bill Nighy as a terminally ill repressed bureaucrat who realizes it’s time to rage against the dying of the light.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Nighy never overplays, his character’s reserved behavior and quiet speech patterns barely changing. Instead, the actor ups his physical energy level just as Williams’ health begins to drain it.
- [New] | Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A sweet drama anchored by an Oscar-nominated performance from Bill Nighy.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: This powerful turn could spin Bill Nighy’s career off in all new directions.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: While perhaps less weighty in its drama, these decisions do allow Nighy to be the central driving force above plot (an Oscar nomination should be forthcoming). LIVING is about Williams learning the lessons shared rather than the lessons themselves.
