Karl Quinn The Age (Australia) 08/21/2018
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. Go to Full Review
Jonathan Romney Observer (UK) 02/22/2015
4/5
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. Go to Full Review

3/5
One of Ethan Hawke's strengths as an actor is his willingness to jump between arthouse fare and B-movie genre fodder. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Nathalia Aryani The MovieMaven 11/03/2020
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. Go to Full Review

Nathan B Nov 30 It tries to be clever but the whole premise makes no sense. See more Leaburn O Nov 24 Well isn’t that an excellent mind bending film. It unravels at a pace you can follow and it is really enjoyable unravelling a puzzle you half suspect all along. The picture becomes less blurry as we progress and the story is ultimately very rewarding. It is very well directed. Watched on DVD. See more D B Nov 22 So a time traveler takes a hermaphrodite back in time to have a kid with the man when he was a woman is the most messed up thing I have seen. The woman learns she has both man and woman parts after giving birth, turns into a man after then travels back in time to do it with his old girl self as a man. Then the time traveler steels the baby the guy had with himself and took it back in time and placed it in the orphanage making the baby the hermaphrodite. So the baby is the person. WOW bad just bad See more Sávio S Nov 13 ethan hawke é um ator magnifico, sempre consegue navegar em atuações distintas, o filme é uma viagem no tempo de conceitos diferentes e isso capta a atenção de quem assiste, viagem no tempo e linhas cronológicas que batem em um ciclo infinito é extremamente bom. See more Dennis E Oct 30 How did I miss this one. See more VITALII H @freakynickison Oct 26 Where to begin I don't even know. This one is very tricky. Creators: "Plot twists? Yes" You guys, let me put it this way. If you like Sci-Fi/Time Travel movies, then it's one of the best movies from the genre you'll ever watch if you didn't yet. It can be very confusing but it's all worth it. Ethan and Sarah ate these roles up, bravo! I am so impressed. See more Read all reviews
