Whoa, a few misses away from being a near gem. The best way to go into this film is to know absolutely nothing about it, like I did. The film starts off as one thing, then becomes a slightly different but immensely better thing - but then goes overboard and throws the film into eye rolling terrain. But whatever, still an enjoyable experience.

This is one of the most original films I've seen. It clearly wasn't made with a huge amount of money, but the cinematography and production values are perfectly fine.The acting and editing are also convincing, but the real star is the script and the story it carries.The film is somewhat reminiscent of the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind, at least in its realist treatment of science fiction.At its heart its about determinism vs free will and how that metaphysical conundrum accounts for love. Which sounds like it could be an ordeal to watch, but it isn't, instead it's interesting and enjoyable, and I think it deserves to be seen.

This is a horrible movie, with a good trailer. Actually the trailer gives away the main parts of the plot, and you're better off skipping the movie. The dialogue feels forced and unnatural, there are plenty of clever references to historic and scientific figures, but without any real connection to the film. There is no such thing as character development, and the long and boring explanation at the end really just patronizes at you so much it made me want to club baby seals. The movie has horrible pace, and it manages to be overly-complicated, stupid and condescending at the same time through its questionable editing. Had it been a one hour film I may have enjoyed it. A disgusting piece of crap, spare yourself the trouble and see something else.

Some movies require you to take the "reviewers rule book" and toss it.This is one of them.The writer/director Darren Paul Fisher appears to be one of those rare auteurs who releases a work every four or five years and then disappears or hibernates or goes back to his home planet.This is an extraordinary film. Even now I not sure if this is a love story sugar-coated with one of the most complex metaphysical scripts of all time, or a metaphysical script grounded in a wonderfully odd love story.However, as one of the main characters quips in the very last scene, "Does it even matter?" The film is mesmerizing and engaging and challenging. It makes the MATRIX look like a Bugs Bunny cartoon. The scenes in the present with the adult cast are perfect and flawless, but the flashbacks with the child actors are beyond even that, they are hypnotic.A great film by a gifted auteur. Memorable. Enjoyable. Astonishing.Highly recommended
