- With its fisticuffs and family dramas, An Unfinished Life has a certain soapy appeal, but it fails to dig as deep as Hallström’s previous work.

It's awful not in an exciting, uncontrolled way but in an overly controlled, narcotized way. See all 32 reviews on Metacritic.com. See all external reviews for An Unfinished Life.
