    Great !

    I won't waste too much of your time with a long review. The plot of this film will undoubtedly be covered in other reviews and the synopsis/summary sections so I won't write about them either.

    Let me just say that I'm a 23 year old guy with a stoic approach to life and a cynical world view. Yet this film has brought me closer than anything else I've seen.

    The writing is realistic. Epic raw performances from the entire cast, Pete Ammel especially.I believe that is what seeing a great movie is all about.....right?

    Definitely a must see !

    One of the best movies

    I did not know how good Jack London's Love of Life would be, but I was very impressed with this film! -The story is well adapted and told so well through some of the best editing of the year. It's emotional and real and could be a Best Adapted Screenplay contender.

    -The pace is pretty good, but does have a slow start and a slow end.

    -The music was good and fitting, but also somewhat isolating, matching the feel of the film.

    -It is an R-rated film and deservedly so. It has some language spattered throughout, not too bad.

    I am glad I saw it and I will say Jack London's Love of Life is worth seeing in theaters! I would give it a solid 8/10! I think most people would enjoy this movie, and would not regret seeing it.

    Excellent film

    I haven't got the best eyesight in the world. So I find the current style of action movie really hard to watch. They move far too quickly for me.

    Jack London's Love of Life is totally different. Beautifully filmed, it had me gripped from the start and two hours passed in the blink of an eye - the sure fire sign of a fantastic film.

    The story is so strong. The acting sublime. The music is stunning. The action moved between three time frames so easily and clearly. Robert Gregg utterly lives up to his reputation as one of the most talented actors on the planet.

    All in all, I found this incredibly watchable.

    If this doesn't win a mass of accolades, then there is something seriously wrong with the global awards system.

    Great movie

    so going into this movie i wasn't really expecting much. I was expecting an Oscar buzz movie set in the world war era and thought i was going to find this movie boring. But to my surprise i was wrong because this is a great movie. In Fact all the acting in this movie was fantastic. There was not a single bad performance. This has to be one of the best films of this or any other year ?

    If you like movies to think about, then this is one for you.Overall i thought that this film was great and i say that you should check it out.

    A must see film! 8/10

    A remarkable movie

    I have never wrote a review before, but I feel I have to tell everyone this film is brilliant, Fantastic acting and will hit you emotionally.

    I usually don't enjoy historically set films with the costumes and the accents, my favourite films are thinkers, mind benders, original unique ideas... So I'm pleasantly surprised that this was nothing like Iexpected.

    It's hard for me to pin down what made this a great movie for me considering my usual joys as noted above, and there was nothing clear to me that made it remarkable... but I suppose it was just a perfectly acted, perfectly balanced piece of drama.

    The Director of this film has done a fantastic job.best Movie I have seen in years.
