About Time

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2018)

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadger
First off, the only romance films I have ever truly like were the Before Series films. This film is a touching and very original story. The dealing with time travel is never explained which kind of a downer is, but the romance story is moving and powerful. The film elegantly introduces us to the characters and lets us connect with them. We see their personalities and their love of family. The ending is touching and really hit home.
The acting is very good. Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams have great chemistry and both perform very well. Bill Nighy delivers a very sobering performance as a loving father about to lose his son. Lydia Wilson, Lindsay Duncan, Richard Cordery, Joshua McGuire, Tom Hollander, Margot Robbie, Will Merrick, and Vanessa Kirby all are great side characters that add so much to the story.
The pacing of the film is slow but it introduces us to the time travel aspect very early. The runtime is a little overlong.
Pros: Touching, powerful, and original plot, great ending, Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams and their great chemistry, good side characters, and Bill Nighy and his story is very touching
Cons: The ability to time travel are never explained, slow pacing, and an overlong runtime
Overall Rating: 8.2
