"He took from his surroundings what was needed, and made of it something more." Aaron
The more that I think about this film, the more I love it. I want to share this film with everyone. Now I know that this film isn't for everyone and that it's incredibly unrealistic to think that everyone would enjoy it. I also know that you can't just decide to sit down and watch Primer when you want to watch a movie. This film assumes that you are invested in the storyline, assumes that you are intrigued with the idea of time travel, assumes that you are intelligent enough to use deductive reasoning, and assumes that you will actually think both throughout the entire run-time and for ages after it's finished. It’s a big assumption to make, but if it’s true it pays off exceedingly well. You will walk away from this film blown away by both the magnitude of the story and the details of the repercussions. This is a beautiful human drama with an intricate time travel plot woven in between. It doesn’t glorify man nor does it glorify time travel. The film is gritty and the acting is real, and each element make this film that much more brilliant.
Rank: 45
Would definitely move up upon rewatch. (Actually, should just move up because of how much I love to think about the intricacies.)
