May truly be "The best time travel movie you've never seen." Heartfelt!
I'm so happy I gave this great indie film a chance. It dealt with time travel in an emotionally intelligent way that made the potential problems of paradoxes irrelevant to the telling of the story. Really well directed with a great score, believable characters, well acted, original and quite entertaining. A bit of a tearjerker without any melodrama. Don't bother watching if you're looking for action sequences and special effects, watch it because it'll make you feel something! I suppose it could in a way be a low budget Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind -with a similar mood, but a completely different plot. Great film!

A Modern Masterpiece
If you are looking for a superhero film, look elsewhere. This movie is director Iñárritu's "8-1/2". You'll either love it or hate it. If you watch films because you're looking for something that makes you feel, this is the movie for you. As an artist, I was instantly drawn in with the visual concept, pacing, absolutely believable acting, and wonderful drum-kit music score. Films like this are definitely not for everyone, but these types of films move our culture forward, and show what is possible in the medium. Film can be so much more than the standard, superficial Hollywood fare, eye-candy and sentimental melodrama are great, but sometimes I want something that is real and truly heart-felt. I'm extremely happy that it turned a profit, and reached a wider audience than films like this typically do.
