Ratings and reviews

What a lovely, funny, clever film. Any time travel story comes with pitfalls. Like, What if you meet yourself? or What if you change the past so that you're never born? And, whilst intriguing, it sometimes feels like these questions have by now had more than ample treatment on screen. So I really liked and appreciated how this film sidestepped the usual traps in a few words, then just got on with being charming and very amusing. The script is perfect and is clearly the result of a lot of hard work, but the production too, is top class, with very endearing performances achieved in just a few minutes of screen time. The finished product says something about destiny, personality, obsession and friendship, without getting preachy and saying too much. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to know what a good short film is, enjoys the possibilities of time-travel, or who simply wants something to brighten their day.

Absolutely delightful. So many time travel stories are so full of themselves - but it is very nice to see a playful one. I was entertained and amused. As a fan of the time travel genre, I recommend this as a childlike but not childish distraction. I only wish it had been longer. The creator should go back in time and add more!
