Info in Movie News | Netflix is set to release its latest romantic comedy-drama, The Life List. Written and directed by Adam Brooks, the film is an adaptation of Lori Nelson Spielman’s novel and is scheduled to premiere on March 28, 2025.
The story follows Alex Rose (Sofia Carson), a young woman navigating one of the most painful moments in her life. After losing her mother, Elizabeth (Connie Britton), Alex meets with a lawyer (Kyle Allen) to settle legal matters. There, she receives a DVD containing a recorded message from her late mother.
As for Alex, the film’s protagonist, there are times when she appears to be losing nerve, feeling trapped and overwhelmed by self-doubt and fear. But still she sets out to find herself, inspired by her mother’s words and the life list written by her 13-year-old self.
The Life List captures the journey of living juxtaposed with a flow of pain along with joy, struggle with triumph, fear with courage. It… teaches you to find yourself and learn from your history, and eventually forgive your past. And how imperfect it may be, and how ugly, it may present itself in your present.
The film also touches on the idea of a life list — a list of things you wish to do, see or experience. Each character in the film has had a life list, if in the most explicit sense or the abstract potential of something. These life lists become anchors, motivators that force the characters to leave the confines of their comfort zones, to confront their fears and get closer to who they aspire to be.
Adam Brooks, speaking to Entertainment Weekly, spoke similarly about timing in life. “What’s interesting is that Alex has to confront her life list on the verge of her 30th birthday. It puts her in the unique position of facing her previous ambitions and dreams with the knowledge of who she is now.”
On her character, Sofia Carson said, “Alex is very relatable. We all experience doubt and fear; need to find a way out of a stuck place. That’s why I was so drawn to her. I think lots of audiences will see a bit of themselves in Alex.”
Emotionally powerful, insightful, and deftly challenging, The Life List is a poignant story about the rich, beautiful, messy diversity of life. It teaches them how to deal with loss, how to accept change, how to enjoy the experience of self-discovery. At its core, The Life List is, too, a letter of love — a love letter to oneself, to those who have impacted our journeys, and to life itself.
The Life List looks to be more than just another rom-com, with a meaningful narrative, unflinching portrayal of real life, and a hearty dose of humor. It dares viewers to examine their dreams and hopes, to seize the moment and to realize that it’s never too late to build a life that one loves.
The Life List is the latest in Netflix not having stopped to point out entertaining, interesting and emotional narratives. Expected to arrive toward the end of 2025, The Life List will undoubtedly resonate with the audience and have a shining place in Netflix's 2025 calendar of all the coveted releases.
