Look, critics ate this up (94%!), but audiences were lukewarm (6.2 IMDb), and that gap tells you everything. This is a micro-budget Australian time-loop rom-com where the 'romance' is actually a guy obsessively controlling his girlfriend through physics. It's clever in concept, but the execution is polarizing—quirky to the point of tedious for many viewers.
The core issue: it's hard to recommend something that models such unhealthy relationship dynamics, even wrapped in absurdist comedy. Yes, it could spark good conversations about control and perfectionism, but you'd need a pretty sophisticated viewer to extract those lessons rather than just feeling uncomfortable.
Bottom line: This is for adult indie film completists only. If you love weird, low-fi sci-fi and can stomach watching someone be a controlling nightmare for 85 minutes in the name of 'art,' go for it. Everyone else can safely skip.
