Greetings from Lithuania.
"Life" (2015) isn't a real biopic. It is more of a persons portrait in that particular time and place - not the best, not the worst. Strange to say but "Life" is more like a character study movie then a real biopic about James Dean. Dane DeHaan acting was quite interesting. I'm still not sure was it good, but it surely wasn't the best real life person interpretation ever. Other were OK, nothing special.
Overall, if you are looking for a good James Dean biopic, this movie will probably be a bit disappointing. It is not particularly involving one, it is more of character study drama. Directing was pretty nice, although at the running time 1 h 45 min this movie is very slow paced, it is not a bad movie by any means, just not particularly engaging one because of the script. 7/10 in my opinion.
