Mike Flanagan has been praised allot and the life of chuck only justifies that praise even more.
While the film sometimes can be a bit difficult to get, not in its themes of existentialism and life itself but more so it's structure. It goes from one point in time to the next which I didn't mind myself.
I think the only downside to this film is that personally nick Offerman doesn't do a great job narrating the film.(Also yes i will use this review to shamelessly advertise my own film
