Surprisingly funny, well acted, and very thought provoking

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2016)

The idea of a romantic comedy movie where the lead character is able to travel back in time sounds kind of odd, but the production turned out to be excellent.
This movie provided me with so many fun laughs. The jokes in this movie were very funny, and not repetitive. The settings were also very beautiful, as I felt parts of London were displayed very well. One of the best parts of this movie without a doubt, is the acting. Domhall Gleason, who is now a powerhouse actor, landing roles in major productions such as 'Star Wars the force awakens'. 'The Revenant', and 'Brooklyn', played the role perfectly, right from facial expressions to body language. This for sure was one of the great performances that got his name out towards the public. Rachel McAdams also played the part of the lead actress very well, as she stayed well tuned to her character. Lastly, the overall symbolism and meaning in the movie was quite amazing. It is usually quite rare to find a great Rom-com, that has strong symbolism, but this movie hit both fronts almost perfectly. In conclusion, About Time is a feel good mod movie, fuelled by strong performances, and is likely to be enjoyed by several of the viewers who watch it.
