David Freyne's new film 'Eternity' is a charming romantic drama that pays homage to the classic Hollywood movies of yesteryear, particularly Cary Grant's 'My Favourite Wife'. The story follows Larry (Miles Teller), who accidentally dies after 65 years of marriage to Joan (Elizabeth Olsen). In an unexpected turn of events, he finds himself in an afterlife transit hotel where he must choose one of several themed worlds to spend eternity in. Unbeknownst to him, his wife has also arrived, only to be confronted by Luke (Callum Turner), her first husband who died in the Korean War and has been waiting for her ever since.
The film boasts a talented cast with excellent chemistry between Teller, Olsen, and Turner. They manage to balance wit and warmth in their performances, making 'Eternity' an enjoyable watch. The movie is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships.
In other TV highlights this week, Levan Akin's 'Crossing' explores the city of Istanbul as a place where people come to disappear. Lia (Mzia Arabuli) travels there in search of her long-lost transgender niece, only to uncover a precarious underworld of poverty and exploitation. Meanwhile, Jess Varley's sci-fi drama 'The Astronaut' follows Kate Mara's character as she returns to Earth after a re-entry that went awry.
Universal Pictures has also brought its hit animated comedy 'How to Train Your Dragon' to the small screen in live-action form. The film, directed by Dean DeBlois, remains faithful to the original while introducing new characters and storylines. Another classic musical gets a modern makeover with Baz Luhrmann's 'Moulin Rouge!', which brings together opera, Bollywood dance, Elton John songs, and Greek myths in a visually stunning way.
Lastly, Anna Kendrick stars as Alice, who embarks on a week-long lakeside break with her best friends Sophie (Wunmi Mosaku) and Tess (Kaniehtiio Horn). However, their trip turns into a journey of self-discovery after Alice's anxious behaviour hints at a disturbing relationship of coercive control. The film is a thought-provoking tale about the various forms abuse can take.
These films are all worth watching this week on TV, offering something for everyone in terms of genre and style.

but seriously tho, david freyne's new film 'eternity' actually works because of its charm and how it pokes fun at classic hollywood movies 
miles teller and elizabeth olsen have great chemistry, tho, and the cast as a whole does a decent job with their performances. on a more serious note, it's pretty deep on the complexities of human relationships and love 
I love how it combines classic Hollywood vibes with a modern take on the afterlife. The cast seems talented and the premise is so intriguing - who wouldn't want to choose an eternity of their own theme? 
It's also great that the film tackles complex human relationships in a poignant way. And can we talk about the TV lineup this week? 'Crossing' looks super haunting 
and I'm curious to see how Anna Kendrick's film explores coercive control - it's such an important topic 
david freyne really nailed the old-school vibes, reminded me of when i used to watch these classic movies with my grandma. the cast is amazing too, elizabeth olsen and miles teller have great chemistry, makes you wanna root for them from the start 
I think 'Eternity' is like a warm hug for your soul - it's got that old-school Hollywood charm 
, but with a fresh twist. The cast is amazing, they really bring the characters to life 
. It's like, we've all been in those situations where we're stuck between our heart and head, right? 
And the afterlife transit hotel concept is genius! It's like a never-ending theme park 
. Can't wait to see more from David Freyne 
, and it's honestly so romantic! I mean, who wouldn't want to spend eternity with their significant other? 
, but the plot is kinda weird and I'm not entirely convinced about the whole afterlife thing. But at the same time, it's really romantic and charming, especially when they're all hanging out in those different themed worlds 
. I guess what bothers me is that the movie tries to tackle some heavy themes like love, loss, and control, but sometimes feels a bit superficial. And don't even get me started on how convenient the whole 'he died 65 years ago' thing is... I mean, come on! That's just too easy 
. But overall, I suppose it's an enjoyable watch if you're into that sorta thing 
.
. The cast seems talented & chemistry is key - Miles Teller, Elizabeth Olsen & Callum Turner all look like they've got some amazing scenes together 
can't wait to see more of their movies
. The drama about coercive control is also something I think we need more discussions about - it's really well done.
just saw 'Eternity' and I gotta say, it's so beautifully done! The way they balance the light-hearted moments with the deeper emotional stuff is just perfect. Miles Teller and Elizabeth Olsen have amazing chemistry - it feels like we're watching a real marriage unfold on screen 
. And that twist with Luke and Joan? 
got me right in the feels. I love how it's all about exploring what makes us human, you know? 
, and Callum Turner brings this depth to Luke that makes you feel for him too. It's a beautiful exploration of love, loss, and what makes us human 
. Have you guys seen any of these shows yet? 
david freyne's new film looks like such a beautiful romantic drama! i love how it pays homage to classic hollywood movies 
. gotta watch this ASAP! 
and the afterlife transit hotel setting is genius
