“Whether it’s his screenplay for “Crazy Stupid Love” or his television work on “This Is Us,” Dan Fogelman is a narrative trickster who often surprises his audiences by revealing a connection between his characters that was otherwise unknown to the viewer. Fogelman’s second directorial effort, “Life Itself,” looks to follow in this tradition.”
