This is a cute Japanese comedy sci-fi that I hope will get a large audience. I found the most fun part of it was how the different characters realized what was happening, and how their reactions evolved over the repetitions of the time loop.
It is a little sugary in the end, but what's wrong with a little sweetness in a time loop story?
I saw it this evening. I don't think I enjoyed it quite as much as Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes -- that's the one I'd still recommend to people first -- but it's not far off. Got the same energy and low budget inventiveness and manages to squeeze every last drop out of its premise without ever feeling like it is in danger of overstaying its welcome. Good stuff.
I am going to check that one out, thanks
shareI watched Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes today. It was really fun, more than this, I agree. Thanks for the recommendation.
shareCool. Yeah, Infinite Two Minutes has the edge over River for me -- possibly because its concept is stranger -- but they're both really fun films. I wonder if he'll make a third in a similar vein.
