Time-travel in cinematic form. What would Deleuze make of this film in terms of time-image and movement-image? I've seen this movie multiple times and still do not fully follow the causal chains, but nonetheless it makes for a very intellectually stimulating adventure. The overlapping and abrupt dialogue of the characters (a sort of hallmark for Carruth, subtitles are very useful) is strangely appealing and the very simple video and audio are put to maximum effect.

While the plot is brilliant and leads to realization after a few viewings, many may feel frustrated or disinterested when they have no clue what is happening, and are unwilling to watch it multiple times.

A really smart, realistic and humanly approach to time travel movies. But the final act really didn't have to be that complicated. I'm not saying they should've dumbed it down or anything, but the movie's idea of explaining the plot is just showing random quick cuts of characters doing vague stuff backed over by cryptic monologues.
