About Time. Written and directed by Richard Curtis. 2013. |
About Time is the latest romantic comedy written and directed by Richard Curtis (whom we all know from
Love Actually). The film tells the story of Tim (Domhnall Gleeson, Bill Weasly in the
Harry Potter films), who finds out on his twentyfirst birthday that all the men in his family can timetravel. Not in a very spectacular way though; they can't go to the future, but they can go back in their own timeline. All they have to do is stand in a dark place (a cupboard, for example), clunch their fists and think of the moment they want to go to. Tim, who's a not-so-smooth ladies man, decides to use this power to find the love of his life. And this turns out to be an excellent premise for a warm and loving film.
