Goofs
He couldn't possibly answer questions put to him if he was moving backwards in time, as he would not yet have experienced it yet. He would only be able to answer questions not yet put to him (as the laying of cards exhibited).

Quotes
Otto Bloom: You can spend your whole life dwelling on the past, but no amount of wallowing can ever change what's set in stone. We all have regrets. We all have disappointments. Things don't always turn out the way we'd hoped. Instead, they turn out the only way they can, which is the way they were always meant to. So, don't let yesterday take up too much of today. Inhale the future and exhale the past. Let every bruise make you stronger, every tear make you braver, and every heartbreak make you wiser. Because the only moment that truly matters is this one. Right now.

Great Film!

This was a fantastic and thought provoking film. I love the documentary style storytelling, I was completely hooked from the opening montage to the final scene. It's also a heartbreaking yet unique love story. There were many twists and turns I didn't see coming. Also, some very sharp and witty bits.

Xavier Samuel played Otto Bloom beautifully, there was something very majestic in the way he portrayed that character, almost angelic.

Definitely leaves you thinking.
