    ★★★★

    Buzzer beater pre-Oscars watch. Procrastination over a large diet Vanilla Coke.

    Final line effectively punctuated an epilogue that otherwise completely derailed my investment in this beautiful film. Despite my best wishes, and although I understand its purpose, the jump to 80s-era cheese in the final 7 minutes disrupted what I considered an unbelievably, fluid, melodic, and otherworldly gorgeous film.

    No punch. Two beautiful people framed like stock image actors in a stages-of-life photoshoot. Came across as a tax write-off film. Great flick for domestic flights!

    Do not worry, About Time. Your crown will never be taken off your head, not while I'm around. Don't let lesser copies scare you, baby.

    Harry so hot Nicole so fantastic. Need to rewatch Antonio Banderas‘ Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!

    So immersive and wonderfully paced and consistently astounding. I actually adored the final 40 minutes and thought everything built in a beautiful, terrifying fashion. Every new addition to the cast contributed to its epic scale.

    The way Nolan captured the sensations of intense disorientation and dread was just! UGH! Morbid fascination and operating under the guise of chasing progress merging to result in an inevitable, devastating outcome... I don't know where to start.

    I wanted this film to continue for…
