Shuffle

What an incredibly talented writer, director and composer Kurt Kuenne is! The movie really kept me intrigued and the music was just beautiful. I really didn't expect much at all from this obviously low budget sci fi movie, but wow did it deliver. It really did have that feel of 'Its a Wonderful life'! Do yourself a favour and get past the low budget look and watch this gem....

Really worth seeing! If you like films that make you think - time travel, alternate realities etc. you'll enjoy this.

Every path chosen leads us down a road, the one that we know as our life. What about the paths that we don't choose - do they still lead lives of their own?

Great concept, outstanding acting (who knew the nerd from Bones had that performance in him? ;) and just an amazing job. There could have been a bunch of different ways to end it but that's the fun - the film inspires dialogue, ideas and debate.

Love seeing high quality films on low budgets - gives us all hope.

Long live Independent films!

Gosh!!!! I wish i could give this movie a 10! After seeing "Validation" short movie so many times, i was already a fan of TJ Thyne. Well, he does not disappoint in Shuffle, neither any of the other actors. The plot is clever, the photography is amazing (the B&W really works!), and time flew by as i was living the story... until the VERY END almost ruined it all! I agree with other review here... After those last minutes, i felt like i was slapped on the face, after being swept away! I did not understand the need of that last scene, as everything falls in place without it.

Watch it if you can. It's a very nice piece of cinema art!

P.S: Only after yesterday's episode of "Bones" i realized that Thyne is Dr. Jack Hodgins!! Maybe my head was focused because i was "getting shuffled" latter on!

"Everyday I wake up at a different age in a different year on a different day of my life and it's scaring the hell out of me. I want it to stop." Lovell Milo (Thyne) is trying to figure out what happened with his life. Lately he has been waking up at different ages at different times in his life. One day he will be 24 fall asleep and wake up 8. Wake up at 92 fall asleep and be 20. On top of that he has narcolepsy so he has no control over when he changes. He wakes up one morning and realizes he is engaged and he is really happy, when he wakes up again its a few years later and his wife is dead. He know is trying to do everything he can to stop that from happening. I was very much looking forward to this movie. One of the most original ideas to come out in a while. I was expecting it to be a little like "Memento" but it was original. The acting is OK and the movie is pretty low budget but I really enjoyed this. It gets to the point where you feel for Lovell and every time he falls asleep you feel sorry for him. The way the movie is set up you honestly can't predict what happens next witch is great and really keeps you interested the entire time. The only thing that ruined the movie is the twist at the very end. Movie is going along great and the the last 30 seconds really took all the air out of it and really disappointed me. I would still recommend this but be warned that the ending isn't satisfying. Overall, a very good low budget movie that is worth seeing but had an ending that almost ruined the movie. I give it a B+.

Movie suffers from poor cinematography, or at the very least sepia/fuzzy grading makes it look worse than it deserves to be. Probably should be remade or at least just reshot.

Pacing can be slow, but worth watching if you like high concept dramas in the same vein of Groundhog's Day or The Lake House then you'll probably like this. Performances are hit and miss, but I'd imagine that Kurt Kuen manage to attract some decent talent due to his heart breaking film Dear Zachery. Makeup is pretty good too.

Give the movie a shot.
