About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a passionate, memory-jumping relationship story with intriguing ideas, vivid visuals, and lots of dialogue; Not for you if you dislike time-bending romance, need straightforward structure, or prefer more traditional romantic comedies like Sidewalks of New York or Happy Accidents.
Pros: beautiful, puzzle-like storytelling; emotionally raw; strong lead chemistry | Cons: confusing at times; over-whitty dialogue; off-putting performances
