If you loved A Shock to the System, try Life

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Comedy / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Shock to the System, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Life is

In Depression-era confinement, a comedy of errors unfolds when two innocents bond over shared misfortune. They pass decades dodging wardens and lousy prison stew, swapping tall tales and actual ones. Sure, the bars never budge, but the jokes do.
