Reuniting with an ex can always be awkward, but it’s decidedly more awkward when you’re meeting in the afterlife, and your second husband is also there. Such is the story of Joan in “Eternity.”
Directed by David Freyne, the film tells the story of Joan (Elizabeth Olsen), Luke (Callum Turner) and Larry (Miles Teller). Luke and Joan were married in their 20s, but then he went off to war and died. Joan later fell in love with Larry, and lived a full life, complete with grandkids with him. Unfortunately, he dies before Joan too.
When her time finally comes, she’s greeted by both men in the afterlife and must choose who to spend her eternity with. Yes, it’s a headache for her.
