Our suggestions
The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party, Tim’s father tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. Tim can’t change history, but he can change what happens and has happened in his own life - so he decides to make his world a better place...by getting a girlfriend. But as his unusual life progresses, Tim finds out that his unique gift can’t save him from the sorrows and ups and downs that affect all families, everywhere.
""About Time" is a charming and delightful romance, where nothing is quite what it seems. The movie starts with a big reveal: the men in Tim's family have the extraordinary ability to travel through time, and with this information Tim must decide what his life will be. The movie uses this fantastical element to tackle mundane themes, human relationships and family, fate, tragedy and miracles, so to speak. The story is mostly a lighthearted and unassuming romance, but when least expected, it reveals itself to be much more powerful and moving than it appears. A movie to celebrate life, to love people, have fun and be moved."
