POSITIVES…
I'm aware that I'm already spoiling it (unless the trailer already did it before for me) but this is a time loop movie. I love time loop movies! This one has fresh ideas to offer to the genre too.
Gotta appreciate that this movie wastes no time jumping right into the fact that the time loop premise is already happening. Efficient.
The highly choreographed opening sequence is a delight to watch.
Kyle Allen is entertaining and charming as Mark. He gets to do the things we might want to do in his situation.
Kathryn Newton is good at being coy and enigmatic as Margaret. She brings a bit of unpredictability to the plot.
Part of the fun in watching this is to discover what Mark and Margaret do and see in this movie. The crazier the better.
It's sentimental, sweet, and thoughtful.
There are some nice levity in this film too, like Anna Mikami and a beach ball, plus some humorous driving scenes.
That third act.
Pop culture jokes and references leans more towards nerd-geek culture, and I'm totally okay with that!
Main themes of this story, and those tiny perfect things. Worthwhile.
Would be a perfect double feature paired with "Palm Springs."
NEGATIVES…
I suppose if you consider every time loop movie post Groundhog Day a rip-off…
This is more of a very earnest time loop movie from the perspective of youths, so it might not be as exciting as you might want it to be.
There are some bits that do seem unbelievable. Even with the premise in mind.
Consequences?!
