Review of New Life

New Life (I) (2023)
2/10
Beware the hyperbolic first wave of reviews.
8 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
There are times I see the reviews well before the film is even released, and I should just file that under the things that make you go...hmmmm.

In this case a serious hmmm is in order and warranted. This film has cinematography going for it, and little else. It's about 80 minutes too long, and the storyline borrows infinitely every.single.trope of a deadly disease du jour film and rather than build off that trope, it triples down in a gubmint/Big Pharm conspiracy. This is below average at best script wise and even with the short run time, you take away a plot hole inducing scenes and you're heading into a poorly made short story.

Hard pass because of the obvious streamer release boost attempt.
