Review - The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry - Netflix

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


I watched the most delightful movie last night. When I say delightful, I mean that it had interesting, compelling characters, an emotionally moving plot, and a setting that, if you’re a book lover, you’ll adore.

The story is about love and loss and new love and new loss and the heartbreaks, challenges, and triumphs along the way. In other words, it’s about life—in this case, a life lived well.

Oh, and there’s a bit of mystery too which I knew the answer of immediately, but you may not. However, when you find out what took place and why, you’ll see that it’s true.

I laughed, I cried, and I immediately texted my daughter to tell her to watch it. Now I’m telling you.

The film was a 2022 American comedy drama with the screenplay written by Gabrielle Zevin who also wrote the book on which the movie is based.

Directed by Hans Canosa, it stars Kunal Nayyar, Lucy Hale, Christina Hendricks, David Arquette, and Scott Foley. Actually, I watched the movie to see if Nayyar had managed to get  a role where he wasn’t the comic relief—usually the rather crude comic relief.
I’m happy to report that the movie and his performance were wonderful. 
I’m always a sucker for any movie about booksellers, bookstores, writers, readers, and books. I really enjoyed this one. If you have the same love for anything to do with books, watch this. If you’re not a Netflix subscriber, you can rent it on Amazon or some of the other streaming services.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
It’s rare to find a movie like this. In fact, I’d say this is family viewing except for a couple of scenes. Let’s call it PG13. Watch and enjoy.
