One of 2025’s sleeper hit stories, with David Freyne’s breakout feature hauling in a more than decent worldwide box office gross to coincide with strong critical acclaim, Eternity is an inventive and playful dramedy with a nice fanciful twist.

Acted out by a talented trio, with Miles Teller and Callum Turner ably supporting Eternity’s glowing star Elizabeth Olsen, Eternity offers up a fresh approach to a well-worn sub-genre as our central trio find themselves departed from the world of the living and having to decide in a limbo-like afterlife where they wish to spend the rest of their days, made more complicated by the fact Olsen’s Joan was married to both men across different times.

Starting out with a headful of steam as Teller’s irritable Larry meets his end courtesy of a rouge pretzel and awakes to find himself in this bizarre limbo land, that looks akin to a 60’s Vegas show floor, and coming face to face with his long-term wife’s one time husband Luke (played by the solid Turner), Eternity may at times loose its focus and get stuck in less interesting segments but for the most part Freyne’s visually notable and breezy offering is a highly enjoyable watch.

Built around some stunning production design and a savvy script that Freyne co-wrote with screenwriter Pat Cunnane, Eternity does a lot with its $12 million dollar budget and in an age where the Hollywood rom-com and comedy genre in general is struggling to maintain its relevance, Eternity feels like a breath of fresh air in a marketplace that is crying out for more of these imaginative and heartfelt features.

Key to the heart and soul of this well-intentioned affair is the work of Teller, Olsen and Turner who all deliver in their respective roles, with Olsen in particular as beguiling as she’s ever been as the thrown into the middle of it all Joan, while Teller, getting to go all old man yells at clouds mode, has a lot of a fun with a role that harkens back to his early days in the likes of 21 and Over and That Awkward Moment.

Arguably a little long in the tooth and not always able to juggle the right balance between its desire to make us laugh and cry in equal measure, Eternity still offers up a great easy viewing experience that should please a wide array of viewers in the market for a refreshingly fun movie watching night-in.

Final Say –

One of 2025’s quiet success stories, Eternity rides off the back of a winning cast and offers a new spin on an old idea, making it an easy to like film with a meaningful message attached to it.
