A very interesing idea, but it could have been deeper

Rating: 6/10 (1 September 2015)

This movie starts from a new and fascinating idea: a world where there's no currency but time. If you want to learn more about the plot, read the summary above. The only thing I'm going to tell you is that, according to me, focusing on time (like this movie does) is very interesting: in our contemporary world what seems never to be enough is not just money but also time. We always think that things would be better if we had more time... and so time becomes a sort of challenge, sometimes even an enemy. It's something so huge and mysterious! Making a movie by focusing on this aspect of human life is a very nice idea, even though the movie could have been deeper in developing this theme and the characters. Unlike Inception, for example, there's not a clear message left by the story; and the characters are less developed (for example, why does the timekeeper behave like this? What does he earn from his job? Why should he want time to be distributed in such parts?). And this movie doesn't let many questions arise either (again, unlike Inception). However, despite this pity, I recommend it: a great idea should always be praised.
