      Deborah Ross The Spectator Try as I might, and I did try, I just could not find it interesting or affecting, in any way. Sep 5, 2018 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online The film is an overly long attempt for its lead character to create the picturebook life of his dreams. Rated: C- Sep 6, 2017 Full Review Francesca Steele Independent (UK) [About Time] is less a rom com than a family drama and though it loses its way in the middle, it is when Curtis allows these familial ties to shine that the film comes into its own. Aug 11, 2017 Full Review Iván Kazi EscribiendoCine Despite its uneven presentation, the film's message is consistent and has to do with the human condition and the consistencies in relationships that either unite or distance people. Affection, loyalty, Trust. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Apr 6, 2023 Full Review Jennifer Bisset CNET Don't be a cynic and watch this ridiculously charming sci-fi romance. No, its time travel concept doesn't make watertight sense. Mar 21, 2023 Full Review Charlotte Harrison Charlotte Sometimes Goes to the Movies I’ve got quite a low-tolerance for Richard Curtis movies and am firmly in the anti-Love Actually camp. This one, however, is my kryptonite. Oct 3, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      Ghes J The characters were attractive, but the time travel setting confused me and I could not concentrate on the story until the end. Perhaps it was the separation of father and son that was the main focus of the story rather than the romance. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Anna R I’m actually in shock I haven’t watched this movie before. This movie is just absolutely brilliant. I can’t understand anyone who’d say it’s boring. Witty, brilliant humour, heartfelt in a cute setting with a profound message. I’d even go as far to say it broadens your horizon, well at least for me it definitely did. I don’t remember when I last cried (this much) watching a movie. In a good way! So pleasantly surprised by this movie and will definitely watch again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review Taylor H About Time is one of the best cinematic adaptations on why we should enjoy the life we are given. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Person 1 Didn't like this. Boring and very wordy. Didn't finish it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Rob F A tremendous rom-com that also weaves a beautiful father-son story in as well Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Simon S Richard Curtis with his usual ability to capture tenderness and quirkiness. This movie and Love Actually are two of my favorite romances Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
