As Netflix’s new drama-romance movie, A Beautiful Life, drops today, here’s what it’s about, who’s in the cast, and if it’s worth watching.

There’s nothing more inspiring than seeing someone who may have been down on their luck finally get the recognition they deserve. Sometimes the rarest jewel shines brightest in the dark and it’s cool to see that metaphor reflected in TV and movies.

And that’s what Netflix‘s new film, A Beautiful Life, is here to do, as it takes its audience on a roller coaster ride of emotions while also giving something to hope for in the very end.

Whether you’re a fan of music, romance, or everything in between, A Beautiful Life should be on your queue for your next movie night.

A Beautiful Life: What is it about?

A Beautiful Life follows a fisherman as he tries to pursue a career in singing against all of the odds stacked against him.

Check out the official trailer below:

The official synopsis reads: “Elliott, a young fisherman with an extraordinary voice, gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he is discovered by the successful and well-known music manager Suzanne. Suzanne soon pairs Elliott with her divorced daughter and music producer, Lilly. On his way to stardom, the struggles of his past threaten not only his big break, but also his budding love for Lilly.”

The Danish musical is 98 minutes of pure musical joy, heartbreaks, and learning to follow your heart no matter how rocky the road might be.

Is A Beautiful Life worth watching?

However, movies in the same genre as this film have done exceedingly well with audiences. Once, an Irish romantic musical drama, garnered over $23.3 million at the box office and Tick, Tick… Boom!, which is a musical that streamed through Netflix, is sitting at a Rotten Tomatoes score of 96%.

Time will tell how audiences respond to A Beautiful Life, but people love a good romance musical, so chances are it’s going to do well.
