I never heard of this movie until I started looking for movies in one of my favorite genres: time travel. This movie feels like a play, with well thought out dialogue, maybe a bit stunted for a movie, but it certainly sucked me in with the premise. Some scenes seems random, like the movers coming in and removing furniture, and outside conversations that seemed arbitrary. No sense in picking it apart since overall it's very good, but shy of great.

Sci-fi stage play of sorts, sporting a powerful cast and filmed on a modest budget. A dialogue driven journey into the past of an unusual professor. Highly recommended.

Very tightly-plotted, with strong characters and intriguing story. Virtually nothing happens during the movie, but the dialogue makes you imagine what had happened, and whether it had happened.
