Time Freak
Amazon Prime, Hulu
Starring: Asa Butterfield, Sophie Turner
Sean’s Synopsis: When Asa Butterfield is unceremoniously dumped by Sansa Stark, the genius college physics student decides there is only one thing to do: Create a time machine and return to all the moments that led to the demise of the relationship. Oh, and bring along his stoner best friend for comedic support.
Sean’s Verdict: This movie checked off a lot of boxes for me:
- Asa Butterfield is a British national treasure.
- Time travel is a very important component, but does not feel abused.
- Time loops and glitches were used to make me laugh, and succeeded.
- The stoner BFF is very funny.
- It’s still a rom-com!
Big win. Will watch again.
