A metaphysical headtrip grounded by Mary-Louise Parker and Ayo Adebiri's terrific chemistry, Omni Loop may not solve the meaning of life but it does deliver a brainy good time.

A low-energy Groundhog Day with no jokes... But it really is moving and assured. Go to Full Review

3/4
A science fiction movie that’s more driven by concepts and emotions than by hardware or action. Go to Full Review

Measuring end-of-life anxiety with an open heart if not the most disciplined head, Omni Loop exists in a soupy, ill-defined emotional middle ground — occasionally amusing but not quite funny, and unable (or unwilling) to commit to penetrating melancholia. Go to Full Review
Cameron Ritter Geek Vibes Nation Jul 20
7/10
In its best moments is a gripping, entertaining look at mortality, family, and the mundane. Mary-Louise Parker gets a chance to deliver a career-best big-screen performance and Ayo Edebiri shows off another side that we haven’t seen much of. Go to Full Review

3/5
Parker and Edebiri each bring a likeable loose energy to their roles, allowing the story to convince on its own terms. Go to Full Review
John Serba Decider Feb 13
I felt a little frustrated that the complexity of the movie’s concept resulted in a simplistic sentiment about valuing your time with your loved ones, until Parker perfectly executes the film’s dramatic climax. Go to Full Review

David 09/26/2024 Unique and innovative storytelling. What a spellbinding experience. See more David S 09/24/2024 Pleasantly placed, makes you think, and entertaining as well. See more First L 09/22/2024 Confusing and no ah ha moment. Way better Time travel movies out thee See more David C Jul 13 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 Tyler G Jul 10 A bit slow and the music was grating by the end, but I still enjoyed it a lot. The acting was excellent. See more Me A Jun 15 I quite enjoyed this movie. For the people who think linearly, no, this is not supposed to be a replication of other time-looping/time-travel films like Groundhog Day. It's a mind-binding, non-chronological, beautiful film about counting your blessings, remembering why you are where you are in a point in time, and embracing the time you have left with the ones you love. It's a story about coming to terms with the finality of death and appreciating those who you've come to love along the way, all wrapped up in a quantum physics, time-warped package. If you want to see scientific film that is more beauty than brains, more heart than hypothesis, you'll enjoy this one. See more Read all reviews
