A24’s new romantic comedy “Eternity” is set to premiere on Apple TV tomorrow, February 13, perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day. The film explores a unique afterlife concept where recently deceased individuals arrive at the Junction, a place where they have a limited time to choose which version of eternity they will inhabit, each offering distinct themes such as Mountain World, Beach World, and even Studio 54 World.
The narrative revolves around Joan, played by Elizabeth Olsen, who finds herself at a crossroads in this afterlife scenario. After 65 years of marriage, she is confronted with the choice of spending eternity with her late husband, Larry, portrayed by Miles Teller, or reuniting with her first husband, Luke, played by Callum Turner, who died shortly after their wedding in the Korean War and has been waiting for her in the Junction for 67 years.
“Eternity” will officially be available for streaming on Apple TV on February 13, although viewers might get an early viewing opportunity as Apple TV often releases titles a night prior at 9 p.m. ET. For those looking to watch the film, Apple TV provides a seven-day free trial, allowing users to enjoy “Eternity” and potentially several other films before subscribing to the monthly fee of $12.99.
The film features a talented cast, including John Early as Joan’s afterlife coordinator Ryan, Olga Merediz as her neighbor Karen, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph as Larry’s coordinator Anna.
As audiences prepare for this heartwarming exploration of love and choices that transcend life and death, “Eternity” promises to evoke both laughter and poignant reflections on relationships. It highlights the enduring connections we hold and the complexities of love, making it a must-watch as Valentine’s Day approaches. The film is set to resonate with anyone who has contemplated the profundity of love and the choices that define our eternal bonds.
