Author Summary
David Freyne’s Eternity mixes romance, satire, and deep thoughts on existence in a clever afterlife rom-com, with standout turns by Miles Teller, Elizabeth Olsen, and Callum Turner. (148 characters)
Plot Overview
The story centers on Joan (Elizabeth Olsen), who must pick her eternal companion after death, caught between Larry (Miles Teller), her long-time husband, and Luke (Callum Turner), her early love lost in the Korean War. Elderly Joan and Larry bicker en route to a family event, tired from decades together amid her cancer battle, until Larry dies first. In the afterlife's Junction—a drab hotel with wild options like Paris Land or Weimar World minus Nazis—afterlife coordinators (Da'Vine Joy Randolph, John Early) guide choices that can't be undone.
Key Themes
It blends screwball laughs with musings on love's endurance, echoing Curb Your Enthusiasm vibes where Larry faces eternal singledom. Joan grapples with steady Larry versus passionate Luke, though the tale lingers before hinting neither fits perfectly.
Performances
Teller shines as the relatable underdog, raw and real; Turner charms as the oblivious war hero, evoking Redford flair despite thinner depth. Olsen anchors the whimsy, making the afterlife romp click amid comic relief from Randolph and Early.
