A really interesting outlook on time travel. More about the realistic pros and cons it than sci-fi make-believe.
Takes about 2-4 watches to truly appreciate this movie, very confusing.
Time travel fuels the plot, but the film remains a moral study of two friends who fall victim to their own timeless, tragic flaws.
Extremely impressive and complicated little low budget movie. These guys had an idea and they pulled it off excellently. I love that shit.
Don't watch this if you already have a headache
Amazing concept, the storytelling makes it a bit hard to follow an already complex topic but it creates a great atmosphere
It's a movie that you can only understand when you watch it the 1st time, then watch a video explaining it and then you watch it a 2nd time.
Don't go into this expecting a fun Sci fi romp. This is complex contemplative Sci-fi. You'll come away with a happy headache
A promisingly uncompromising debut, a director firm in his ambitions, and via multiple viewings, assuringly reflective in its effect.
Super confusing time-travel chaos! Watch it twice, still confused but loving it. Mind-blowing indie sci-fi.
