The film tells the story of quick-witted teen Mark, contentedly living the same day in an endless loop whose world is turned upside-down when he meets mysterious Margaret also stuck in the time loop. Mark and Margaret form a magnetic partnership, setting out to find all the tiny things that make that one day perfect.

Eric Kohn indieWire In the process of merging formulas, "The Map of Tiny Perfect Things" recycles the same material it seems inclined to rejuvenate, one step at a time. Rated: C+ Feb 18, 2021 Full Review Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Kathryn Newton and Kyle Allen do have some very good chemistry together, and yes they do acknowledge Groundhog Day. Feb 13, 2021 Full Review Roxana Hadadi RogerEbert.com This is all fairly predictable in the way so many films aimed at teenage viewers can be. Rated: 2/4 Feb 12, 2021 Full Review Rebecca Johnson Film Focus Online It has fun and likeable characters, a cool indie soundtrack and an interesting premise that combines coming-of-age and science fiction pretty seamlessly. Rated: 3/5 Aug 6, 2023 Full Review Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews I was expecting less than this but it’s charming, delightful, and fun! Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Mitchell Beaupre Awards Radar The Map of Tiny Perfect Things doesn’t break the mold in any way, nor does it really do anything new with an increasingly used premise Rated: 2/4 Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Julian Rex M Visually graceless, yet masterfully composed, The Map of Tiny Perfect Things functions as a more meaningful take on the oft-told story of Groundhog Day, and a bold debut from writer Lev Grossman. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Rz _ A simple, yet emotional, and heartfelt story for a romantic movie with its own surprise and its own warmness and charm. This is a "perfect moment" not to let pass Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Audience Member I literally created an account to make this review. It was an amazing movie I definitely recommend I love it so much! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Les M This film is good, but it gets dragged down by two things: Kyle Allen's emotionless performance and a nonsensical idea that the plot revolves around a 4D-cube map. The Map of Tiny Perfect Things is an inferior movie to Groundhog Day and Palm Springs. In terms of quality, it was about on par with two other time-loop movies I've watched recently: Before I Fall and 12 Days of Christmas. I preferred both of those films to this one. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review Leti A It was a very interesting movie with a great story line it just left you with some unanswered questions at the end Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review a a made an account just to rate this. it made me cry and that *never* happens to me. wholesome and sweet little love story about timeloops - i'm not normally someone to go for love stories, but this was just. so perfect. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
