Lovell Milo is a man who begins experiencing his life out of order; every day he wakes up at a different age, on a different day of his life, never knowing where or when he’s going to be once he falls asleep. He’s terrified and wants it to stop - until he notices a pattern in his experience, and works to uncover why this is happening to him - and what or who is behind it.

P.S., watch this in Black and White, it was intended to be viewed that way, I don't know why most releases are in colour.
Feels like a really weird video you'd be shown in school to combat cyberbullying or online pedophiles and I cant explain why.
Lidt for ambitiøs, men alligevel ret sød til sidst.
Pretty cool concept, what if memento was actually time travel? Wraps itself up a little too cleanly but still enjoyed it overall
I’ve been wanting to watch Shuffle since my time researching one of my favorite short film directors Kurt Kuenne for my video essay on his career a while back, and tonight I finally did just that! This is a sweet film by that same director that goes some dark places as it tip toes into the noir genre but winds up being a mostly feel good drama the more you watch. That said, the introduction to the premise of a story following a character who is living his life out of order one random day at a time is much stronger than the film that this eventually ends up being in my opinion.
Kuenne’s style is on point as always…
A sweet film with some real creativity in the presentation. The concept isn't particularly fresh, we've seen a lot of this before, but Kuenne's creative style and sincerity keeps it all afloat. Was definitely questioning some of the choices in the third act, but ultimately I couldn't help but be on this movie's side.

Each day our lead wakes up at a different age, on a different day of his life. As he tries to figure how and why this is happening another mystery is revealed...
I tend to be drawn to films with these sort of concepts and this put me vaguely in the mind of The Butterfly Effect or maybe A Christmas Carol. The washed out, dreamlike way it is presented suits the subject matter (and perhaps helps hide the budget restrictions).
A pleasant Sunday afternoon watch.
There's a lot to criticise in this film. It dips into cheesy TV movie territory a few times, treating the viewer like a child. Some of the acting is basic and whoever is responsible for cinematography needs to stop with the filters (no more sepia tone) BUT it's so twisty turny. Every version of Milo is utterly real and engaging, it's a great #tt story and a fun ride. Watch it!
Beautiful film! I saw the colorized version and just love the look of it. This was released a bit later than planned because The Time Travelers wife sorta beat it to the punch that year, as they have alot in common, but this is so worth seeing. I happen to disagree with some of the other reviewers, because I think the ending was very strong, moving. Wouldnt have had it end any other way.
A film that's better in concept than in execution. It's shot with a weird over-exposed/sepia look which makes everything feel un-real which I suppose is the point, but may have been better in black and white in all honesty. The poster also suggests a sci-fi actioner rather than an arty reflective piece on mortality. Still, it's an interesting tale if you have the time.
No man has ever more perfectly embodied the spirit of “Everyday I’m Shufflin’”
A real shame this has an estimated budget of 500k, would love to have it on my unknown microbudget SF list. Tempted to up my budget cutoff for it 😁.
A solid SF flick about a guy experiencing his life out of order. Led by Hodgins from the TV show Bones and also has another show alum in a smaller role. There's nothing really new or show stopping here, I just appreciate what they did given the budget constraints. Expected a lot less from it. Probably would bore the non-SF enthusiast, but if you like low-fi SF this is worth consideration. Free on Vudu right now.
