Es war Zeit

Husband and i did not expect much from this small movie with unknown (to us) actors, but we ended up quickly roped in by its theme and how cleverly it develops. A Groundhog Day idea unfolding on another plane- this story is of an inoffensive enough but flawed man discovering what and who he is about to lose, and what his benign neglect will cost him. We watched the film in Italian with subtitles to not miss the local flavor, and discovered a great story that unfolds subtly, yet at a crisp pace. On a background of -basically- the tragedy of modern life-, the story goes from funny to hugely emotional without ever being cloying or pandering. And no pat ending either. This script is brilliant and original, and the 2 main actors are a joy to watch. Loved it,

Everyone should watch this movie! It is very profound! I have learnt a lot from this movie and also, of course i cant be a spoiler, cry a lot! Very touching but at the same time funny!

Nowadays people are so busy everyday, dont know what they are hurry for! But they are hurry all the time! Keep watching the watch, and counting the time! Or some of them can not sit still and live at that particular moment! They think they need to earn more or buy more or work hard for status~ they think these can represent them! But in fact this cant! This movie teaches us the problem of this and it gives u a lesson by the show so u can feel this instead of just reading it! So i think all people, especially those who are always busy should watch this.

Finally a good Italian movie that it's not about the mafia.

Completely underrated movie.

You'll understand completely the main character, his life and how he relates to others.

At the beginning it might look like another story about someone who's lost in time and repeats the same day again and again until they realize something and everything sudently changes but no.

This is not a science-fiction movie so it never explains the time traveling trips, in fact is never very clear when he travels in time but he does and that's the main message about the movie: you never realize when times goes by you can just enjoy it and that's OK. What's not OK it's been always busy and never realize that the treasure is already with you Love the change on the character that comes from care just about himself to care about others since the life he was destined for has suddenly changed.

I can't believe that its a 6/10! Are people alright!?

I usually just "read" reviews and don't bother writing one but I created an IMBD account to "defend" rather than review this one! I'm not a very sentimental person, and I rarely ever cry while watching movies but I cried twice watching this one! Think Sandler's "Click" but much better! I watched it without any expectations and I might have end up hyping or raising expectations for those who haven't watched yet, we may not completely agree on how profound this movie is, but definitely do give it a chance!

It does serve as a reminder to re-evaluate what are our goals and priorities in life are.

Initially, this movie appears to be based on the familiar concept of time travel (loops), but is made in a brilliant and original way. Movies that make you reflect on your own life and motivates you to actually change are rare. This movie is certainly one of those rare jewels, focusing on the importance of living in the present and caring for family and friends, rather than being self-centered and selfish. Workaholics would benefit from seeing this movie. The weakness of the movie is that it took the main character too long time to understand that he needed to change, in particular to free up time to spend with family and friends.
