About Time

“About Time makes me sob, so I can only watch it every few years, but each time I do, I remember how lovely a movie it is thanks to the universal wonder that is Bill Nighy.”

“Completely pure schmaltz, which is just fine by me. If you want to feel good and then feel good crying a little and then just feel good again, here ya go. Five stars for knowing what it is and doing what it does with its whole self.”

“Just utterly devastating - can’t say why or it’ll spoil it, but totally wail worthy”

“We try to watch this every year to remind ourselves that an (extraordinary) ordinary life is just fine”

“A British rom-com with Rachel McAdams—need I say more? Tim is told by his dad on his 21st birthday all the men in their family can go back in time, but only to change their own lived past. It’s truly a fantastic “movie about nothing”; no particularly intense plot, you’re just sort of living life alongside the characters. It’s not totally devoid of challenges or sadness, but this movie feels like a warm hug and I will always choose it when I’m on a flight. (Last pitch: it’s kind of like the Time Traveller’s Wife meets Four Weddings and a Funeral.)”

“This is my favorite movie. It's warm, funny, British, and has a wonderful life lesson. This is the warm hug of movies and the cast is absolutely stellar. I will always come back to it when I need a good cry or to feel something.”

“one of my favourite movies of all time. "We're all traveling through time together, every day of our lives. All we can do is do our best to relish this remarkable ride."”

“I can’t explain why I love it so much or why it’s my favorite movie - you just have to experience it for yourself. It’ll make you laugh and cry and be more present in your life. It’s a beautiful film.”

““The truth is I now don't travel back at all, not even for the day. I just try to live every day as if I've deliberately come back to this one day, to enjoy it, as if it was the full final day of my extraordinary, ordinary life.””

“Nothing like I expected. Everything I wanted. Don’t trust Rotten Tomatoes. Best rom-com-drama that exists. Deserves a 100%”

“Is good”

“The sweetest movie about the preciousness of life.”

“A romantic movie with a time travel twist! There are huge plot holes with the time travel mechanic, and the whole thing is color graded like an early Instagram filter. But at the end of the day? This is a movie that goes beyond romance and into deeper waters about how we choose to live each day.”

“This gem has become a Thanksgiving tradition for my family.”
