Audience Member Really enjoyable, well-done, and entertaining indy time-travel mystery with a touch of noir and more than a touch of romance. Low-budget, but no need for a large budget on this one. I really enjoyed the heck out of it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Fascinating !! A real film noir feel. Like a 50s pulp novel come to life. Call it a mysterious sci-fi with zero special effects...how refreshing !! Captivating script. A wonderful low budget independent film. Caught me off guard !! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member "The Sticky Fingers of Time" is a lesbian film school student's idea of a noir-ish time travel movie. I'm not giving it my lowest rating because, quite commendably, its ending actually tries to make sense, when you half expect the end titles to start rolling abruptly at the most obscure moment; and because it remotely suggests a potentially much better movie with roughly the same components (the reincarnation element was a little too much though.) The lesbianism is not too overt (there is some kissing between girls, but nothing too sexy, as the heroine looks like a cross between Sandrine Bonnaire and David Sylvian), and the recreation of the fifties is obviously limited by the budget (the make up is decent, but most of the film is set in the nineties anyway.) I don't think I would have managed to watch it through if I weren't a time travel completist. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know how I never heard of it before today. If you like low-budget sci-fi you should check this out, as well as if you're into film noir/pulp, because it's a combination of those two genres and it works effectively in both. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member An unusual film that deserves to be much better-known. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member If you like hard-boiled detectives, time-travel, and strangeness, then this one's for you. Tucker Harding, an author from the 50's is a reporter who gets to report on the atom bomb tests in the Nevada desert, only to find that the radiation alters her genetic code turning her into a "Time Freak" - a person who has the ability to experience time in a non-linear fashion. Full of fantastic, twisted characters from the 50's and modern day (well, 1997) America, it;s a brilliant watch. It shows you just how good a low budget indie flick can be as well just by relying on good acting, sharp dialogue, good plot and excellent cinematography. This is in my top 10 movies. It should be in yours. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
