Life as It Should Be

About This Movie

So, 'Life as It Should Be' is an interesting little indie piece from 2020. You’ve got this mix of comedy and drama that feels pretty raw and honest. The whole premise kicks off right after Iris gives birth, and that’s when things get really messy. Pieter’s confession about his affair and disinterest in fatherhood just slaps you awake. The tone fluctuates between light-hearted moments and heavy emotional beats, which keeps you engaged despite the heavy themes of infidelity and disillusionment. The performances, especially from the leads, carry a lot of weight; they make you feel the tension and heartbreak without overdoing it. It's distinctive for its unfiltered look at relationships and the messiness of life—definitely strikes a chord in a relatable way.
