A forthright and surprisingly buoyant drama about facing death before you have really lived.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten

The result is as sugary as a fatal toothache, though it's hard to hate a film that merely wants to give the world a hug.

Amy Nicholson, Los Angeles Times

The overarching sentiment of Ways to Live Forever is curiosity. Does dying hurt? How does someone live forever?

Sherrie Li, Village Voice
