Es war Zeit

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.

Wow, what a movie I just watched.

I've never felt the need to rate a movie or write a review, but this one got me hooked.

Everyone heard at least once that "life is too short to be stuck doing what you don't find fulfilling or meaningful" or "life is what happens when you are busy making other plans" or something similar and you usually nod and continue doing the same things. And there's a time when you finally understand how short life is. You look in the mirror and you know what you have to do.

This is a simple and powerful story, delivered in a brilliant, delicate way.

If you are in your thirties, in your forties, even in your fifties, you will relate to this one. Go and watch it, while there's still time.

Watching this movie really struck a chord with me. In life, we often only feel regret when we look back. Dante, portrayed by Edoardo Leo, felt like a reflection of people around me, and even myself. He was blinded by the perspective of self-responsibility, working at the company for a paycheck but enduring criticism. He chose to focus on his career, thinking it would secure the future for his family. Beatrice Ronchi's character, Alice, on the other hand, was a loving wife who worked hard to maintain the warmth in their marriage.

I believe that the choices made in the moment have no clear right or wrong; it's only with time that we come to understand the consequences. The plot cleverly and swiftly depicts Dante's extramarital affair, but his regrets become evident through his expressions and subsequent choices. This makes me remind myself that while the source of income may seem practical in society, the future of a family depends on the mutual understanding and effort of both partners, rather than one escaping outwardly while the other waits silently.

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.

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.
