Nearly Too Good to be True

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2020)

An absolutely delightful and wonderfully original romantic comedy, that is very part enjoyable as it is sweet. About Time does something that many films of its kind are often too afraid of doing, that being, taking full advantage of its interesting concept and making you believe in it. Domhnall Gleeson is perfect is the leading role, with Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy, and Lydia Wilson providing perfect supporting roles. This film simply has it all. It may not go drastically deep into the soul as some great movies do, but it goes deeper into the heart than most, and the result is utterly beautiful. The script is not just funny, but honest, and revealing, and by all means entertaining. Richard Curtis provides the film with some great direction, and the cinematography can also often be stunning. In the end, About Time is almost too good to be true. It's everything rom-com enthusiasts will ever want, and one of the most delightful and heartfelt feel good movies I have ever seen. It's funny, smart, and stunning and is one of the most original and unique films of the decade.
My Rating: 10/10
