What i liked about it was how it was always brought the concepts of potentiality, alternate futures and the interactions of decisions back to a human level... that these concepts weren't just abstract... They weren't philosophical ideas, rather they were felt...
Very rare for these types of movies to do that... This is an exception...
I enjoyed it. Went in with no pre-conceived notions, didn't watch the trailer or read reviews. It was a Netflix movie in Sci Fi that I hadn't seen, which is a rarity. It was unique, not fully explained, with a variety of interpretations on alternative futures, choices, and happiness. Not a 10/10, but definitely worth a watch if you like the genre.
It was enjoyable, handsomely mounted and well worth a look, but its reputation and sizeable cult following has long baffled me, too. A solid 6/10 from me.

That is precisely what moved me so much; the sensitivity of the filming and the subtlety of the (potential) sensations in many scenes. I felt like timing was of essence in the filming itself.
I consider this is definitely a movie to watch with time instead of as a quick entertainment.

This film is amazing. It's a little sad, but amazing. For those of us who ponder reality, life choices, chance, and destiny, it's a candy store.
