Life After the NeverEnding Story

Just as with her previous two "Life After" films, director Lisa Downs takes a deep dive into the lives of those involved in the making of a classic '80s cult movie. In this case, she delves into the troubled life of Noah Hathaway and intercuts it with a look at the experiences of Tami Stronach, who as Hathway himself states, had a very different experience to her in the making of The NeverEnding Story. It's a light and dark story, interspersed with some insightful interviews with supporting actors and key crew members, and lots of never-seen-before archive photos and behind-the-scenes footage. For fans around my age who were lucky enough to see the original movie in our childhoods, Life After The NeverEnding Story also brings some closure, some release from that hankering for things I loved as a kid. It doesn't do it justice to call these documentaries, they're films, and this is the best one yet. I really loved it.
