Timestalker follows hapless heroine Agnes through time as she repeatedly falls for the wrong guy, dies a grim death, gets reincarnated a century later, before meeting him again and starting the cycle anew. It is one story told over many periods, all with the messy thrills and spills that come with daring to follow your heart. Or maybe your loins... Agnes’ only hope in avoiding this violent fate is by finally reaching spiritual enlightenment; but how can she ever wise up when she’s destined to be a fool for love? Some lessons are just too hard to learn in one lifetime.

Critics Consensus

Leveraging fantasy to explore how bad life choices are evergreen, Timestalker is a clever and imaginative sophomore feature from director and star Alice Lowe.

Sight & Sound

A rollicking, risk-taking and deftly funny subversion of fairytale romance, Timestalker shows off Lowe’s admirable ambition

Timestalker is a demented romp through romance with a sense of humor so sharp that of course there's gushing blood.

…the writer, director and star of Timestalkers, Alice Lowe, is a comic talent to watch; her debut is huge of scope and wide of imagination, and she’s always willing to go for self-deprecating laughs…

Hey, Have You Seen ...?

Lowe packs a ton of messaging into a very tightly wound package from patriarchy to feminism and fate to free will. It works more than not.

Timestalker is a clever idea in need of some substance.

On paper I should have loved this one, but it really fell flat for me. Visually it's beautiful. Some brilliant, whacky turns of phrase (the syphilis gags), but very very condescending in it's message in the end. And why shouldn't it be, it's a fable, so it's got to have a moral and anyone moralizing in 2024 is bound to be condescending.

Truly a terrible film. I had hope it would be funny and oddball, but it was just a mess. The storyline makes no sense, the acting isn't even subpar, and it lacks any kind of substance, all together. Seriously, I think you might need to be under the influence to enjoy it, but even then, you wouldn't be able to understand it. I'd like those 88 minutes added back to my life, please.

A cool concept but it came off like a cheap fever dream. Not particularly bad but I just wasn't as captivated as I problem should have been. There was a lack of charisma, specially from this guy she was chasing.

In the middle ages, a woman (Alice Lowe) becomes enamored with the wrong guy. She is reincarnated throughout the ages only to encounter him again and again. Albeit rough in spots, this is a hidden gem. This is triple threat Lowe's sophomore effort after directing/writing/acting in Prevenge. It's a smart experiment focused on feminism with humor that hits often enough to save the film from too much silliness.

Alice Lowe is always unique and interesting and I will always look forward to seeing anything she's making. This definitely has her awesome dry wit and dark sense of humour peppered throughout, but I just felt like Timestalker had the feel of a meandering video clip, rather than a film. I felt like the Nick Frost moments weren't used to their full advantage either, I was waiting for those scenes to really take off, and they felt a little flat and wasted to me. An enjoyable watch, a few giggles along the way, but did expect a bit more out of the plot and great cast.
