Directed by Mike Flanagan, 2025, USA, Rated R, 110 minutes

Based on a novella by Stephen King, this reflective fantasy-drama traces the life of Charles Krantz in reverse—from his death to childhood—across three interconnected vignettes. Tom Hiddleston stars as Chuck, with supporting performances by Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, and Mark Hamill. As surreal moments blend with realism, the film explores the meaning of life, memory, and legacy. It was the winner of the People’s Choice Award at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.
