Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2014)

This film touched me given so many similarities with my life (not the time bit). I guess that is not too surprising since I probably grew up in much the same circumstances as the author and many of the actors. Country, education, etc. The twist is of course time. Or the ability to rewind it.
The conclusion of the film is advice that I would have loved to be able to understand at a much earlier age. I hope that my kids do and are not too bored when I force this film down their throats.
I have to add more lines so I will say that it is a cliché. It is a classic English mirage ... as much as Amelie Poulain is a mirage of real Paris. I'm not sure that that is such a bad thing. If you can ignore all that glossing over of other darker things in both films they both have an optimistic message to bring.
I guess I accept optimism anywhere I can get it.
