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 father (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.

Tim Lake(Domhnall Gleeson) has this displacement occur, very suddenly, as he is young, and it overwhelms him. Tim can also travel back in time. His first crush, or heart interest is Charlotte, a friend of Tim's sister Kit Kat(for Kaitlyn). Charlotte(Margot Robbie) remains youthful and all the advances are threaded gingerly but innocently. Charlotte has one idea, and being revisited, in time, has yet, another plan. There is maturity steeped in Tim's ability to go into a closed closet and employ time-travel. Charlotte has taught Tim that although Tim is righteous and seeks love and marriage, the 'special person'-the one on the other side of the play jig may have fickle daydreams and unachievable steadfastness as a dimension.
Tim's family lives in Cornwall and are upper class, and live off of a lake, in a large home. The Lake family are all imbued with a special nurturing, that humility which seeks wisdom about the sanctity of other people. As a result, Tim's father James Lake(Bill Nighy) is able to make understood that: "...all men in the (Lake) family have an ability to time travel." James also makes Tim understand that any ethereal joy must come from quality pursuits and mindful ambitions.
Kit Kat, Tim's sister is awesome too. She makes errors but she has maturity even as a party girl. Mary Lake, Tim's mother is strong but whimsical, and forwards comments that are brash but inclusive, and especially these ideas are supportive. The real histrionics come from Mary(Rachel McAdams) the girl that Tim loses because of his prioritized time-traveling. These sequences pose a question over sound conventions; How much does circumstance control inevitableness, or who we become?
There's a strange mood of separation, a sterility; these are the same people but some don't know Tim, really-are these unprecedented attitudes or possessed beings? There is a brilliant single stroke mantra piano tune, 'Spiegel Im Spiegel' (mirror in the mirror) by Arvo Part, which accompanies this bicameral adventure, of connecting points of ambiguous denouments. Be very careful, do not listen to 'Spiegel Im Spiegel' if you are a depressive. This simple tuneful repeat will overcome your lungs with heaving, aching, chasms. When going down this mournful lonesome hallway the whole of the movie is collected in this guiding track-this penchant for living through one another or in shifted states in obsession or handy-man tailoring is a sifting of casual sensebilities.
Mary and Tim play off each other cathartically so that we are engrossed in a suspense ethos of first love being wrought in worry, in deliberation. Is it possible that the wrong thing said or implied could ruin this romance? If looking on, living a fantasy in your head, or if your like Tim, have real people to love, to negotiate with, then haven't "About Time's" concluding altruisms always been known to us? Frantically culling our sensations to be rid of distractions.
"About Time" has actors from all different English speaking countries. It was directed by Richard Curtis, and, if you liked 'Spiegel Im Spiegel' there is a classical music CD titled 'Echoes Of Time' featuring violinist Lisa Batiashvili. This has 'Spiegel Im Spiegel' as well as other melancholic ruminations and a moody nocturne by Shostakovich and it also has the V&V by Giya Kancheli.
It really is a masterpiece. Domhal Gleason and Bill Nighy are perfection and the supporting cast engaging and amazing. I highly recommend!!
