    Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2023

    The documentary beautifully captures and stitches the incredible rituals a vast portion of humanity practice around the globe, celebrating life itself, manifested across diverse cultures and societies.

    Despite the differences in life styles, each recorded piece of daily life displays a similar willingness from people to do what they can to be happy, or to simply live in the moment.

    Gathered pieces well edited together, with exception to an audio modification the project creators mentioned was redone by the narrator because the voice volume was too low for one of the videos they submitted. Otherwise, much of the work together flows naturally, allowing the people who recorded their experiences to speak for (or just show) themselves.

    Fun watch, and one of my favorite forms of media content to date.

    This documentary is something that everyone should see at least once in their lifetime. I don't remember exactly how it was I stumbled upon this movie but after seeing it, one thing was clear, I HAD to own this movie! I felt like, everything I've ever felt about life, about people, about the world was validated in this film. I felt connected to the rest of the world. I've always wondered about what was going on in the rest of the world that wouldn't normally be seen. Not the CNN or even the BBC version, but the untold, small town, middle of nowhere village, stories that are out there begging to be told! This was everything I needed it to be and more! I don't think I've been more in love with a documentary!
    Life in a day is broad, simplistic, & beautiful!

    This is an amazing feat by You-Tube and National Geographic. The idea of piecing one day from around the world into quick snapshots is wonderful. This film takes you around the world; getting an inside peak into troubled times (breast cancer), to the simple joys of life (a camp fire). You can see yourself in other cultures in the smiles and laughing to the heartache of feeling alone and lost. A very moving conglomeration of people and places pulled together from hours and hours of footage into this one movie. You realize again, how close we really are and alike to each other; the family we make as one.

    Was interesting to get a glimpse into other people's lives and cultures. Warning: there is a scene involving harm to animals. It sneaks up on you...so be ready if you want to turn away. I wish they had expanded a bit on the guy who's been traveling for a while on his bicycle and the lady in the very beginning who mentioned the veil between our dimension and the spiritual dimension being the thinnest from 1-3 am or so. Some of the clips were not very revealing and I think a second edition could be neat that focused more on non-mundane topics or stories. Overall - worth watching and different from the norm - so I liked it.

    This movie is simple yet very profound.It is a journey through life, as lived by various members of the human race. There is a deep connection with the people in the movie because the underlying emotions and reasons are so universal, yet there is also a strong sense of wonderment at the diversity of life human life on this planet.

    I was so moved by this the first time I watched it that I purchased it for some of my friends as gifts. Great movie, definitely one that can be viewed again and again. The music, the editing and the selection of scenes all contribute to the overall power of the movie.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Beauty mixed with horror and boredom, an amalgamation of Life as we Hate it.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2017

    Thanks to a scene showing the knocking (brain penetration) of a cow, this is NOT FOR KIDS. Not even for wives. Otherwise, knowing now that people all over the planet have to get up, urinate, dress, eat breakfast, go to work, is not an exciting discovery. Let them do their own stories about 24 hours? Some glints of intelligence, but mostly boring stuff. This probably looked more interesting on paper.

    This is a difficult movie to write a review for since it isn't footage from one person, but rather many many people. You will laugh, you will cry. It captures the beauty in the everyday routines like waking up, brushing your teeth, eating, commuting, etc. You will see how people all over the world live their lives and the struggles they go through and what makes them tick. I got this DVD as an anniversary present for my husband because we got married on July 24, 2010, the day all the snippets of footage in this film were shot.

    Save your money!!! I was looking forward to watching this documentary, but as soon as I started watching I noticed the quality was terrible, and boring. There was a scene in there where a guy slashes a cows throat!! Horrible!! And it was just an old documentary taking you into others people’s Lives. I was expecting SO much more. I’ll be selling this one.

    Un progetto entusiasmante, un giorno di vita sulla terra, visto da tutti i continenti. Naturalmente discutibili le scelte, che danno largo spazio ad anglofoni e lascian negli angoli altre testimonianze. Che tuttavia ci sono. Insomma, un inno di entusiasmo per la vita, la nostra di esseri umani, in questo mondo.

    life in a day fue un proyecto muy ambicioso, y genialmente narrado, sobre lo que pasaba cierto día en la vida del mundo: 24 de julio de 2010. Y quien lo intentaba narrar eran personas normales y corrientes, unidas por un llamamiento del director Ridley Scott y Youtube.

    el resultado es historias sencillas, entremezcladas, opiniones, y la respuesta estas preguntas: ¿a qué tienes miedo? ¿qué amas? y ¿ qué tienes en los bolsillos o en el bolso?

    una pequeña joya para disfrutar de lo que pasa en un día cualquiera en este planeta, tanto bueno, malo, o simplemente, otro día aburrido para otros.

    5.0 out of 5 stars "Life In A Day," a beautiful snapshot of mankind!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    "Life In A Day" was conceived by veteran filmmaker Ridley Scott and the Oscar-winning director, Kevin Macdonald and Youtube. And, yet, one has to ask oneself, "how can a bunch of Youtube video clips become a film that one may want to watch?" Remarkably, editor Joe Walker, in my humble opinion, was the key player who somehow sifted through the 80,000 submissions (with a lot of help of course!) and gave us a fascinating work of art! It is a film that allows the audience to see incredibly unique aspects of everyday life all over the world! I would love to describe how I felt about many of the great scenes in this movie, but I do not want to put any spoilers out there. This is a film that has many profound moments, especially when you consider that the only thread of continuity that exists is the fact that all of the scenes were shot by individuals all over the world on one day, July 24, 2010! But I will share this one thought: as cheerful and uplifting as the film is, there are also some very sobering moments in the film that many people around the globe can relate to. In the final analysis, it the very personal nature of each scene that gives this film its magical allure!
