It's a challenging movie, without a doubt. But it's great fun to watch. If you take the time to unravel Gabriel Judet-Weinshel's debut film, you'll find a lot more. The low end reviews wanted a Hollywood film, and this is not one of those. It isn't neat or trendy or traditional in any way. Gabe is playing with God, time and space with a very solid sci fi premise. No need for me to break it down, rent the film and enjoy it, if you're up to the task. From a filmmaking standpoint, what Gabe has done with a tiny budget and immense persistence should be a clear signal to producers that he can make a film and he knows how to pour a ton of production value into it with limited resources. Stylistically the film is beautiful to watch, the art direction and cinematography are challenging and excellent. I'm certain this guy has a few scripts sitting in his computer worthy of your attention, but take note, he should be directing more sci fi thrillers.
