BadNews R Every once in a while, a movie comes along that takes a familiar concept and puts just enough charm into it to feel fresh. The Map of Tiny Perfect Things is one of those movies. At its core, it’s about a teenager stuck in an endless time loop—reliving the same day over and over again, never able to move forward. For most people, that would be a nightmare. But instead of giving in to the frustration, this character finds joy in the repetition. What makes it so fun is the way he embraces the absurdity of his situation. Since he already knows what’s going to happen, he uses his “psychic” knowledge to make people’s days better—helping someone avoid a fall, guiding someone who’s lost, or simply adding a spark of happiness to otherwise ordinary moments. Rather than losing his mind, he finds little ways to make each repeated day meaningful, and it’s honestly iconic to watch. The story takes an even more interesting turn when he discovers he’s not the only one stuck in the loop. A girl is experiencing the exact same phenomenon, and suddenly, he has someone who understands what he’s going through. Together, they begin to explore the possibilities of their shared situation, and in the process, a love story naturally unfolds. Their bond feels sweet and earned, and while not every moment of the movie lands perfectly, their connection really sells the heart of the film. Yes, there are a few moments of questionable pacing, and the movie doesn’t always push its time-loop concept as far as it could. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a genuinely fun, heartwarming film with a unique spin on romance. Verdict: The Map of Tiny Perfect Things might not reinvent the wheel, but it delivers a charming, clever, and surprisingly touching story. It’s cute, creative, and worth checking out if you’re in the mood for a lighthearted love story with a sci-fi twist.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Dan J What a charming little film! You get a right mix of rom com, an overarching mystery, and a fresh take on the groundhog day plot structure. I just really really enjoyed the watch as it blew my expectations away. I suppose what I really enjoyed was that there is a real groundedness in how the characters enjoyed the day to day life. That spirit is delivered with lightness and relatability. Highly recommend it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Audience Member Kathyrn Newton and Kyle Allen make their own map of perfect things in life Mark and Margaret are two high school teens They both feel trapped living a mundane existence at such a young age Then something miraculous happens; Mark and Margaret find themselves in a time loop Both of them form a magnetic partnership doing whatever they want without consequence but how long can they do it before realizing they don’t want to do it forever? There’s infinite do overs to get something right or until something eventually happens, it’s like everyone is else is dreaming and you’re the only one awake, who knows what everybody wants to be at 17?, is it good or bad to miss out on the stuff we don’t have to experience if time doesn’t move forward?, time is the stuff when you spend it you don’t get it back, it true we lose it every day but also gain it, is everything we fix meant to stay broken?, if you don’t face death or losing someone it eats you up, we all want to hold onto that precious moment as long as possible Newton and Allen have such delightful chemistry and the sci-fi element is subtle without being bogged down by a lot of jargon or data dumping There’s also a big change in the narrative which caught me by surprise The film is a romance at its core all about making the perfect things our own escaping our own reality A decent coming of age flick that says it’s not always about you but it can be about others together Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
