Elizabeth Olsen Embroiled in Bizarre Post-Mortem Romance in A24's "Eternity

'Eternity' Review: Elizabeth Olsen Navigates a Post-Mortem Love Triangle in Pensive, Charming A24 Comedy TORONTO - In the latest offering from A24, "Eternity" director David Freyne puts a unique spin on the afterlife genre with a post-mortem love triangle at its core. The film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), stars Elizabeth Olsen as a woman caught in the midst of two marriages that refuse to let go. The story follows Larry (Miles Teller), who has just passed away and finds himself in a limbo-like train depot where he must choose his forever. Will it be an eternity spent at the beach, or perhaps a lifetime as a libertine in Queer World? The choices are endless, but one thing is certain: Larry's decision will have far-reaching consequences for those left behind. At its heart, "Eternity" is a romantic comedy that explores the complexities of love and relationships. Olsen brings her signature charm to the role, navigating the treacherous waters of post-mortem romance with ease. Her chemistry with co-stars Teller and Aisling Franciosi is undeniable, making their characters' entanglements all the more believable. Freyne's direction is a masterclass in subtlety, allowing the audience to piece together the puzzle of Larry's afterlife without spelling it out for them. The result is a film that is both pensive and charming, with a healthy dose of humor thrown in for good measure. "Eternity" has all the makings of a cult classic," said TIFF programmer John Cooper. "It's a film that will linger long after the credits roll, leaving audiences to ponder the what-ifs of their own mortality." The film's script, penned by Pat Cunnane and based on his Black List entry, is a clever deconstruction of the traditional romantic comedy. By setting the story in the afterlife, Freyne and Cunnane are able to explore themes that would be impossible to tackle in the living world. "Eternity" is not just a film about love; it's also a commentary on the human condition," said Cunnane in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "It's about how we choose to spend our time, and what we value most in life." With its unique premise, talented cast, and clever script, "Eternity" is sure to be a hit with audiences this fall. Don't miss your chance to experience this charming and pensive comedy for yourself. "Eternity" will be released in select theaters on November 17th, with a wider rollout planned for the new year. *Reporting by Hollywoodreporter.*
