Review: Elizabeth Olsen, Callum Turner and Miles Teller lead clever, charming ‘Eternity’

Author Summary

Elizabeth Olsen shines in "Eternity," a whimsical screwball comedy about a posthumous love triangle with Miles Teller and Callum Turner, blending chaos, charm, and afterlife choices in a heavenly hotel limbo. (152 characters)

Plot Setup

The story follows Joan Cutler, played by Elizabeth Olsen, who faces a tough choice after death: spend eternity with her longtime husband Larry (Miles Teller) or her youthful first love Luke (Callum Turner). It's chaotic and baffling for the characters, yet forms a perfect launchpad for screwball comedy antics. Action centers in the Junction, a quirky hotel where the dead pick afterlives like Paris Land or Mountain Town—no changes allowed once decided.
