    Last three minutes in top 5 moments of any film for me. Watching this in a theater was a treat - everyone seemed to breathe together after each “act.”

    I always think it’s so brave to spend so much time on an actor’s performance, and commend the filmmaker for being so very brave. Would love to revisit this again and again.

    Very intriguing, albeit slow, movie about paths untraveled and the desire to alter time. I loved the sci fi elements and was pleasantly surprised. It was predictable and formulaic but sometimes that how a cookie crumbles. Great Sunday afternoon fodder.

    This one resonated much more than I was anticipating. Kieran Culkin is in complete control of the character, even when the character isn’t in complete control of himself. Amazing work. 

    I also was very impressed by Jesse’s performance and felt the restaurant monologue in my bones. It is very hard to love someone at war with themselves, but we do, and we have to, and we have no other choice.
