Review
------
For more than three decades, filmmaker Richard Curtis (Love
Actually, Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral) has crafted
his signature voice in the world of movies and television, giving
audiences unforgettable characters who have alternately allowed
us to laugh at our ever-so-human foibles and to share a tear at
the extraordinary journeys that accompany our ordinary lives.
Now, with About Time, Curtis gives us his most personal film to
date.
At the age of 21, Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson) discovers he can
travel in time…
The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party, Tim’s
her (Bill Nighy) 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. Sadly, that turns out not to be as easy as
you might think.
Moving from the Cornwall coast to London to train as a lawyer,
Tim finally meets the beautiful but insecure Mary (Rachel
McAdams). They fall in love, then an unfortunate time-travel
incident means he’s never met her at all. So they meet for the
first time again—and again—but finally, after a lot of cunning
time traveling, he wins her heart.
Tim then uses his power to create the perfect romantic proposal,
to save his wedding from the worst best-man speeches and to save
his best friend from professional disaster. 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. There are great limits to what time travel can
achieve, and it can be dangerous, too.
About Time is a comedy about love and time travel, which
discovers that, in the end, making the most of life may not need
time travel at all.
