It provides viewers with one of the most trippy and engaging puzzles in recent memory."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari 3.5/5 "It may not be flashy but there are flashes of cleverness sparkling throughout."   Eye for Film   Amber Wilkinson 4.5/5 "Meticulous plotting, breathless pacing, paradoxes aplenty, and some surprisingly human dilemmas, all make this low-key sci-fi thriller well worth going back over again and again. It is a Primer-like triumph of ideas over budget."   Channel 4 Film   Anton Bitel 3.5/5 "something truly unusual -- a time travel film that doesn't feel forced or overly illogical"   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron 3/4 "A smart, occasionally thrilling science fiction tale..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B- "More prone to play out as a case of style over substance."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "This genre-jumping, expertly designed thriller is a craftily satisfying and wholly absorbing experience."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 3/5 "All romantic hurdles can be overcome, Vigalondo suggests; all it takes is a lot of hard work, some murder, and a little fringe science."   The L Magazine   Henry Stewart 1.5/4 "Low-budget Spanish thriller about a guy that stumbles hours into the past and winds up trying to correct his last few mistakes can't survive its contrived plot contortions, non-characters, or "well, duh" obviousness."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito B "...an intelligent time-travel premise that owes more than a little bit to "Blowup.""   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "Nacho Vigalondo's bleak time-travel thriller... [chronicles the travails of a] classic film noir schmuck: No matter what he does, sooner or later fate will stick out her foot and trip him up."   Miss FlickChick   Maitland McDonagh 3.5/4 "A tight little movie where every setup is paid off"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 9.5/10 "Nacho Vigalondo's reinvention of Pandora's Box plays upon the nerves as much as the intellect."   PopMatters   Matthew Sorrento B "The film's plentiful complications aren't necessarily unique ... but they're given corkscrew verve by taut plotting and correspondingly fleet, no-nonsense direction."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager B+ "A time-travel story swathed in the banality of everyday life, yet girded with the tense and extraordinary inevitability possessed by the best tales of this ilk."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "A film that exemplifies the popular artistic notion of inescapable tragic destiny."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B+ "...handles the paradox of traveling in time with intelligence and combines it with a solid thriller/mystery story."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford B- "There's a dark and demented little psychodrama of self-inflicted madness beneath the narrative contrivances."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "As a director, Vigalondo sweeps you up into his tale and keeps you running at what seems like full speed toward the finish line."   Cinefantastique   Steve Biodrowski 5/10 "You watch it, figure out how it works, and then never have to interact with it ever again."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 2/4 "more tantalizing than satisfying"   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 86% Fresh Page   1
