Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (LAist) A low-energy Groundhog Day with no jokes... But it really is moving and assured. Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz RogerEbert.com A science fiction movie that’s more driven by concepts and emotions than by hardware or action. Rated: 3/4 Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Brent Simon AV Club 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. Rated: C Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Cameron Ritter Geek Vibes Nation 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. Rated: 7/10 Jul 20, 2025 Full Review Calum Baker Radio Times Parker and Edebiri each bring a likeable loose energy to their roles, allowing the story to convince on its own terms. Rated: 3/5 May 2, 2025 Full Review John Serba Decider 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.

David Unique and innovative storytelling. What a spellbinding experience. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review David S Pleasantly placed, makes you think, and entertaining as well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review First L Confusing and no ah ha moment. Way better Time travel movies out thee Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review David C 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Tyler G A bit slow and the music was grating by the end, but I still enjoyed it a lot. The acting was excellent. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Me A 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
