Twice Upon a Yesterday has the kind of title that promises you'll hate the movie, and in this case the movie doesn't disappoint.

Without a rooting interest in our so-called 'hero,' one admires the invention of the film without necessarily enjoying it.

This movie has become a very interesting movie that has attracted the attention of the audience. The angle the director was able to see is amazing. The roles of the actors in the film were very special. I liked this movie very much.

Definitely wasn't expecting much from this and I was left pleasantly surprised. Sure, it recycles a plot device used in many other better films but it still works in this plots case

This is one of those movies I love to watch again and again! Especially after a heart wrenching break up. It's of the same school of thought as Sliding Doors only better! It makes you really think and resets your perspective, great movie, great cast, great story line.
