Featured reviews
A time travel movie obsessed with improv. Reminded me of when I was deep into the Austin improv scene in my 20s. Very dreamlike.
I watch everything. Mostly on Plex. Love when I find something like this. Weird and small and definitely low budget but also lots of imagination and cool. If low budget stuff isn't your thing then maybe not this one but I love stumbling onto weird stuff like this made with obvious passion. Reminded me of an even smaller Safety Not Guaranteed.
The actors work hard in this sweet-natured film about time travel and time paradoxes. What I enjoy about titles like this is that they include inventive ideas that would never have made it into larger-budgeted productions - like the "cake test" for determining whether a time paradox has occurred. Don't worry so much about internal time travel logic - this film is more about human relationships.
Would have bumped it to 6.5, if that rating was available.

Get some friends over. Get some cake. Get baked. Watch Paradox Lost.
My new fave. The kinda movie that you wanna tell everyone you know to watch. Love it.
The world is a little better because this movie exists.

Great low budget flick that uses the time travel theme to its advantage, and in a very resourceful way untangles itself from the potential mess of writing a script about time travel by writing it inside the script itself. I found that very clever, lending the script a whole other level.
The only not-so-great thing about this movie is the blatant amateurishness of 99% of the cast, including the lead man and woman, in contrast with the main supporting character who does a great job.
