Strange things begin to happen when a group of friends gather for a dinner party on an evening when a comet is passing overhead.
An ambitious physics and time-bending, relationship drama with solid performances from the two main characters.
It ties your mind in so many knots you eventually give up trying to work out whether any of it makes a lick of sense. It’s part of the film’s genius, really.
A low-budget, highconcept WTF thriller that might have been conceived by Rod Serling in the heyday of his Twilight Zone series. Spread the word.
With its quantum mechanics-referencing title and Twilight Zone-style plot, it's a mind-bender par excellence for those who know that, given the relative artistic freedom, micro-budget indie fare is often the perfect home for big ideas and science-on-screen.
Clever, mostly improvised, brain-teasing drama.
The central conceit isn't especially original but Byrkit's treatment of it is atmospheric and witty.
Proves that you don't need a big budget to make a big impression. A few bright ideas are much more valuable.
Clever and compelling, though never quite breaking through the sense of artifice.
Shot over five days, the film’s caught-on-the-fly look intensifies the characters’ feelings of chaos and confusion, but not to the point of obscuring the narrative puzzle; it remains graspable, albeit not without some work on the part of the viewer. Happily, it never feels like work.
Shadows of The Twilight Zone and Another Earth hang over this impressively stripped-down, experimental sci-fi.
It’s clever but claustrophobic.
