David Sep 26, 2024 Unique and innovative storytelling. What a spellbinding experience. See more David S Sep 24, 2024 Pleasantly placed, makes you think, and entertaining as well. See more First L Sep 22, 2024 Confusing and no ah ha moment. Way better Time travel movies out thee See more stuart S @artstu Aug 16, 2026 Although the cast is superb. And the two stars perfect. The story is both confusing and befuddled. Not because of being science fiction, but because of being non understandable science fiction. One needs to read a good review to realize what the story really tells us. See more Lincoln D @Linclovesmovies Jul 12, 2026 Even an interesting concept like a black hole in a character's chest cannot save this painfully slow and boring snooze-fest. See more David C @RT32611604 Jul 13, 2025 Please note: there are no special effects, so if that's what you want, you will be disappointed. This is that rare sci-fi movie for people who love seeing science in everyday life. It's time-travel through a macro lens and the whole human experience, conveyed it through a micro story about a retired physicist and mother about to die at 55. She discovers she has a black hole in her thorax that will kill her in five days, but thanks to a mysterious bottle of pills she found as a child, she can go back in time five days, over and over, which she does, desperately hoping to find some kind of cure. But the intense and frustrating five-day process — an endless work week, get it? — forces her to ignore her family while she works, making her look back over her life and the choices she made — not just as a physicist, or as a woman in a man's world, or as a mother and wife, but as a human being who can't in the end play god, rewrite the past and cheat time. Thanks to an incredible and nuanced performance by Mary-Louise Parker, we get to feel an entire life full of hope and ambition and resignation and love and regret and happiness. She really makes the movie. Like all great sci-fi movies, this is messy — it asks more questions than it answers, so don't expect a neatly wrapped present tied up with a bow, but a story that stays with you and gnaws at you — just as life does. Which makes this sci-fi a lot more like reality than most documentaries. See more Read all reviews
