You Can Live Forever is a 2022 Canadian romantic drama film, written and directed by Sarah Watts and Mark Slutsky.
[5] After the sudden death of her father, Jaime Buckley is sent by her mother to live with her aunt Beth and uncle Jean-François in a small town in Quebec, home to a devout Jehovah's Witness congregation.
Jaime tells Marike about her dream to travel to Europe to see cities like London, Barcelona, Prague, and Lucca, in particular mentioning the Guinigi Tower.
At school, Jaime makes friends with another student named Nate, who is not a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses and is incredulous about their non-celebration of occasions like birthdays or Christmas.
Jaime is told by Beth and Jean-Francois that due to her perceived influence over Marike, the two will only be allowed to interact in supervised environments such as Bible study.
Jamie reassures Marike that her previous relationship is in the past and the two kiss; however, they are spotted by a passing Jean-François, who informs Frank.
In an epilogue set an unspecified number of years later, a college-aged Jaime returns to the small town and is picked up at the train station by Marike.
The website's consensus reads: "Narratively subtle and beautifully acted, You Can Live Forever finds soulful drama at the intersection of sexual orientation and religious faith.
"[6] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 68 out of 100, based on 7 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.
