Time Lapse

The overall idea is actually quite interesting, but the execution is not as great as it could be. The film logically tries to be rather intimate, which it somewhat achieves, but I didn't quite buy into the plot halfway through, which ultimately affected the finale, making it feel unnecessarily overwrought. If it were tidied up a bit, it could be a good film, but it would need to be tidied up starting with the screenplay. (2015.01.19)

I love these intimate sci-fi and dialogue pieces. Time Lapse is not without its flaws, but the two decent actors, the great music, the interesting idea and the pleasantly disturbing atmosphere were actually enough to satisfy me. Still, this science fiction variation on Shallow Grave would probably have been better suited to a forty-minute format, as it was often apparent that Bradley King sometimes didn't know what to do with it all and didn't have enough ideas to entertain for an hour and three-quarters. Definitely good for a feature debut, though, and I'll be on the lookout for the director's next projects. (2015.06.02)

A group of youngsters as unpleasant as a squirrel in your underpants. But the premise somehow saves the day and although it looks terribly cheap, the movie will eventually catch your attention. And at the end, it will give you a considerable shock with the ending. Nevertheless, it was quite nice that the authors keep coming up with interesting ideas within realistic sci-fi and they make the effort to turn that into a movie. It’s a pity that the youngsters seemed like they were transported from Melrose Place and like their dialogues were written by Danielle Steel. (2016.09.13)
