You're running out of time to watch Bill Nighy's best movie Living as Netflix will be removing the movie on January 2, 2025.
The 2022 remake of classic Akira Kurosawa movie Ikiru stars Bill Nighy as a bureaucrat who, in his darkest moment when he learns he has a fatal illness, makes an effort to turn his dull life into something beautiful.
It rightly earned Nighy his first-ever Oscar nomination – although he missed out to Brendan Fraser for The Whale – and also stands as the best movie of his career.
If you missed it at the cinema in 2022 though, you can now check out Living on Netflix in the UK and Ireland. But as mentioned above, the final day to watch the movie is January 2, 2025.

What to Read Next
Talking to Digital Spy ahead of its release in 2022, Wood praised her co-star for teaching her "so much by osmosis" and giving her advice.
"What I love about Bill is he is an actor who cares so deeply about the work and is so detailed and has so much depth when it comes to his performance. At the same time, he doesn't talk really about his process or anything like that," she explained.

"The chats that we had were very much about us as people and were about life and we kind of didn't really talk about acting a lot. I learnt so much about how to be a person from Bill.
"I just admire him so much as a person. He's so kind, and he's so generous, and he's so open, and he's so playful and curious. I found him really inspiring as a person, and I think that also is exactly what he is as an actor."
Living is being removed from Netflix on January 2, 2025.
