Karl Quinn The Age (Australia) This yarn - based on sci-fi legend Robert Heinlein's short story All You Zombies - is never less than intriguing, even if it does threaten to unravel at the slightest tug on a thread of loose logic. Aug 21, 2018 Full Review Jonathan Romney Observer (UK) The film leaps into a dizzy abyss of temporal paradoxes, made all the dizzier by its transgender premise - a modern Tiresias myth plaited into a Möbius strip. Rated: 4/5 Feb 22, 2015 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) One of Ethan Hawke's strengths as an actor is his willingness to jump between arthouse fare and B-movie genre fodder. Rated: 3/5 Feb 20, 2015 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review It’s a fascinating investigation into the major science-fiction theme of time travel and the sometimes mindbending possibilities therein. Rated: 3/4 Jul 12, 2022 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz This twisting, turning, time-travelling thriller about the ability to change the course of destiny will leave you pondering long after the credits have rolled. Rated: 4/5 Mar 15, 2021 Full Review Nathalia Aryani The MovieMaven Challenges the ultimate impossibility with themes of existence, procreation, choices, destiny, and whether the end justifies the means...a 360-degree head scratcher. And the word "360-degree" will have a new meaning when you realize the full story. Nov 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Lilly S Didn’t like this movie it’s confusing and slow and boring Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review John P Got to be the worst movie I’ve ever seen. The real time dilemma here is how to salvage the time you wasted Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Goran M the Second worst movie i have ever seen Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Kit G Is worth watching. A little twisty, it may not be packed with suspense, but it offers a compelling exploration of time travel with a well-crafted script and strong character development. This is not a movie to watch passively; it demands your full attention. It’s not the kind of movie you can have on in the background while you do other things. The performances are great. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Audience Member Everything was very predictable, even when it wasnt, like the reveal that he was all of the characters it wasnt hard hitting at all. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Jordan Y The twisted side of time travel. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
