Madelines

The implementation is very slow and boring.

If you only have 2-3 actors and do everything on a small scale, they have to be completely convincing.

But nobody does that, and you torment yourself through the film.

RATED 7/10 Language: English

Bit amateur sci-fi drama mixed with horror actions. Its childish st some places and master class in some paces. Kind of mixed bag with some good idea. It was bit slow in the beginning but the pace is watchable after that. Liked the climax very well.

One time watchable.

Madeline (Brea Grant) and Owen (Parry Shen) are a couple working on time travel for investor Rory Devonshire (Richard Riehle). The successful small project develops a flaw in the code which generate a new version of Madeline every day. They have to take care of every new Madeline.

This indie has an interesting concept. Its microscopic budget holds it back. This wants to be funny, but the execution is not there. The directing is weak. The timing is off. It is trying so hard to punch above its weight. In the end, it is obviously unable to get there. I do like Brea Grant in her multiple versions.

The writers watched Primer and went "Ok, let's steal this, but make it dumber, so nobody notices." It's slow, the plot goes nowhere, and it's unoriginal. Even by low budget, indie standards, it's bad.

Seriously, rather watch the original they plagiarised this from.

Everyone who rated this movie below a 5 obviously hasn't seen the rest of the movies rated below 5. The movie has heart and has a message that I won't iterate because it would be a spoiler. The ending, I believe was chosen so that it would be unexpected or a surprise. The surprise ending spoils the message because it doesn't deliver the intended message. I mean it could but maybe it doesn't because the ending leaves the time beyond a certain point as a mystery. Therefore any message you believe to be there is just uncertain to be the author's intent. Brea did a great job of acting. Those who love movies with heart and Brea Grant will definitely enjoy it. And the body double was fantastic too.
