I was sceptical about the pitch. I was expecting a cheap sci-fi time loop story with a female main character to add some kind of easy romantic lines, just goodish enough to have something playing on while doing something else but in fact no, it was quite interesting and I enjoyed it entirely.
The trailer is actually very deceiving because :
Instead you will get a quite clever psychological story about a girl trying to run from her life through her obsession about a man. It is moving, and generic enough for most of us to identify to. The genre mixing is clever, the sci fy bit is a nice allegory, the comedy side gives some rythme and the drama brings some depth. Congratulations to Noga Pnueli for the story and to Kaley Cuoco, her part is basically the whole movie and she did it well.
My disappointment comes from the feeling of tight schedules and fast editing. There are some very good ideas and a good bas for more twists. A bit more time, work and probably money could have made this movie amazing. Anyway, it was a great surprise and that is rare enough to be saluted.

- If you want sci fi, you will be disappointed
- If you want a comedy, you won't laugh a lot
- If you want romance, well it is served with a sadness topping
