COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good submitted by alumeng.ajl on June 24, 2012, 8:30am I really liked this movie. The character's seemed real and fleshed out.

Fantastic but submitted by klickitat on June 22, 2013, 12:06pm you probably won't really enjoy it unless you're in your twenties or in touch with your twenties self. The film is one long, unstructured, well scripted narcissistic and very vulnerably human conversation. If you're older or hate twentysomethings, maybe consider catching up with Jesse and Celine in their later years. The "effect" of watching them grow up won't but as profound but you'll probably relate more to their concerns.

Beautiful location and scenery; like a trip in DVD form!

My mom's review: The guy is a jerk. The girl has nice clothes.

Sigh submitted by hcf on August 26, 2013, 11:52am I love this movie. I saw it when it first came out with my boyfriend (now husband) and it takes me back to another time.

Eh. submitted by brielle on June 20, 2014, 3:42pm I was kind of expecting this movie to WOW me because of the press that its second sequel got last year, but it was a bit meditative and artsy for my taste. The conversation that Jesse and Celine had was interesting, as was their relationship, but at the end of the day I didn't really like them or the story's barely-there plot.

Time Machine submitted by jibkidder on July 2, 2022, 5:03pm What stuck out about this movie to me in a recent viewing was how aged it felt. It really dials up the past in a way. Was kind of surprised by how annoying the Ethan character was, I am interested in both these actors. Got a better sense of who Julie Delpy is a person from both her Maron interview and the show she directed. I believe both of them were upset they didn't get the writing credits they deserved for the movie.
