A Gem!

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2014)

Richard Curtis's 'About Time' is A Gem! A wonderful, heart-warming Romantic-Comedy, that benefits from a terrific Screenplay, Top-Notch Direction & Proficient Performances!
'About Time' Synopsis: At the age of 21, Tim discovers he can travel in time and change what happens and has happened in his own life. His decision to make his world a better place by getting a girlfriend turns out not to be as easy as you might think.
'About Time' is a tale, very-well told. A wonderful film in all respects. Curtis's Screenplay justifies a fascinating concept, by converting it into A Gem of a film. Its mushy, emotional & moralistic. Its got everything a neat Romantic-Comedy should offer. Curtis's Direction, on the other-hand, is top-notch. His work as a Writer & Director, both, is extremely commendable. Cinematography is perfect. Editing is crisp. Art & Costume Design are fine. Music by Nick Laird-Clowes is superb.
Performance-Wise: Domhnall Gleeson delivers a sensitive performance in the central role. Rachel McAdams is adorable. The on-screen chemistry between Gleeson & McAdams is magnetic. Lydia Wilson is first-rate. Lindsay Duncan is nice. Bill Nighy is a class apart, as always.
On the whole, 'About Time' is a must see.
