Time Lapse

I love these intimate sci-fi and dialogue pieces. Time Lapse is not without its flaws, but the two decent actors, the great music, the interesting idea and the pleasantly disturbing atmosphere were actually enough to satisfy me. Still, this science fiction variation on Shallow Grave would probably have been better suited to a forty-minute format, as it was often apparent that Bradley King sometimes didn't know what to do with it all and didn't have enough ideas to entertain for an hour and three-quarters. Definitely good for a feature debut, though, and I'll be on the lookout for the director's next projects. (02/06/2015)

This idea is generally quite interesting, but the execution, it's not that great. The film is trying to be more intimate, which it somewhat succeeds at, but I didn't connect with the plot at all, which ultimately also affected the finale, which seemed unnecessarily convoluted to me. If it was tidied up a bit, it could be a good film, but it would need more polishing, even with the screenplay. (19/01/2015)

A group of youngsters as unpleasant as a squirrel in your underpants. But the premise somehow saves the day and although it looks terribly cheap, the movie will eventually catch your attention. And at the end, it will give you a considerable shock with the ending. Nevertheless, it was quite nice that the authors keep coming up with interesting ideas within realistic sci-fi and they make the effort to turn that into a movie. It’s a pity that the youngsters seemed like they were transported from Melrose Place and like their dialogues were written by Danielle Steel. (13/09/2016)
