Cradle to Grave

About This Movie

Cradle to Grave is an interesting documentary-drama hybrid that dives into the life of Adam, but really, it's more about the journey we all take from birth to death. James Tovell plays with the narrative structure, blending real-life footage with dramatized moments that sort of mirror the highs and lows of existence. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit with the themes of struggle and resilience. There's a rawness to the performances that feels genuine, and the practical effects used in some segments add an unexpected depth. It’s not your typical documentary, more of a reflective piece that gets you thinking about life’s ephemeral nature and the forces that shape our experiences. Definitely a unique take on the human condition.
