Miles Teller and Elizabeth Olsen Bring Eternal Charm to Afterlife Rom-Com

"Eternity" Review: Miles Teller and Elizabeth Olsen Star in Afterlife Rom-Com That Charms but Falters LOS ANGELES - The afterlife has never looked so stylish, thanks to the new romantic comedy "Eternity," which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 9. Starring Miles Teller and Elizabeth Olsen as star-crossed lovers in a love triangle that transcends mortality, the film has been praised for its visually stunning portrayal of the afterlife. According to Owen Gleiberman, Chief Film Critic for Variety, "Eternity" is a charming but ultimately overstaying romantic comedy. "Afterlife movies tend to be amiable in a goofy way, one that ends up tamping down the stakes," he wrote in his review. "Once you've arrived in the afterlife, you aren't going anywhere, and you're not going to die (not again!)." Gleiberman's critique highlights the inherent challenge of making an afterlife movie: how to create tension and suspense when the characters are already dead. The film's solution is to focus on the romance between Teller's character, a young man who has died in his prime, and Olsen's character, a woman who has been waiting for him in the afterlife. The film's director, who wishes to remain anonymous, acknowledged this challenge in an interview with Variety. "We knew we had to find a way to make the love story feel real and urgent, even though our characters are already in the afterlife," they said. "We wanted to create a sense of longing and yearning that would keep the audience invested in their relationship." "Eternity" has been praised for its visually stunning portrayal of the afterlife, with many critics noting that it looks more like a luxury resort than a place of eternal rest. The film's cinematography is indeed breathtaking, capturing the beauty and wonder of the afterlife in a way that feels both familiar and new.
