Dennis Harvey Variety Discovering a neighbor's photographic time machine complicates life for three young L.A. flatmates in this clever fantasy thriller. May 20, 2015 Full Review Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times The biggest surprise ... is how the story continues to unsettle after it ends. May 14, 2015 Full Review Jesse Hassenger AV Club The three central actors lack warmth or even basic rapport from the start, which makes it difficult to trust their fuzzy interpretation of the time-travel rules-or, for that matter, their tolerance for each other. Rated: C May 14, 2015 Full Review Jordan Brooks Vague Visages Although aided by some big ideas, Time Lapse collapses under the weight of its ambitious log line and crude script. While King’s film falters, it’s not the utter disaster it could have been, which is both a credit to the director, and a positive sign... Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See a clever, low-budget genre flick with more ideas than money. Rated: B Jul 5, 2020 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X Even so, among the many inexpensive indies shot around Los Angeles, Time Lapse stands out. It makes the most of its assets and never appearing to need any more than it has to tell a reasonably engrossing tale of speculative film noir. Rated: B Dec 19, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Brad A Watched Time Lapse tonight. OMG that was good! That's the first really really good time travel movie I've seen since.... since.... Primer (classic - so good). Time Lapse, like Primer, made you really sit down and think, "What did I just watch?" at the end. Loved it. A+ time travel movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review speed d When filmmakers refuse to work within their constraints and fix plotholes in their movie, and instead keep the plotholes, they are making the decision to treat their audience like utter morons. These kids could have bought a powerball ticket day 1. Or gave the money back to the bookies. Also, when the girl in the movie screams the whole movie “we can’t mess with the photos, we must do the same pose as the photo or we will all die!!!” Just up and changes her tune at the end of the movie “let’s change the photo poses and wake up like bill murray in groundhogs day!”, the filmmakers again are treating their audience like morons. What a terrible movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Jeffrey N Surpringly good. Just watch it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Aneurin P Excellent little movie. Solid performances on a limited budget executed with polish and care. I recommend checking this film out. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review Audience Member This movie is coller than bee movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Wesley W Skipping the Philosophy 101 lecture on determinism was an error. The result? Mutton dressed as lamb in movie form. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
