Review by Guifré Margarit i Contel | 02 February 2024
Solid acting by the two leads, with MacKay stealing the show as the 2014 sociopath version of Louis.
Although the variety of genres (romance, thriller, and near-future dystopian sci-fi) and nice photography work well enough to catch your attention, the truth is that the film structure is surprisingly rudimentary as it doesn’t really exploit the interplay between the three different timelines and simply tries to force it with somewhat original but also annoying editing tricks.
