Another You

This was a good film. The character development was excellent, and true to the anguish of youthful romance. It's kind of science fiction, also part thriller, definitely drama, all wrapped into one. Acting is excellent, as is editing and writing. It's about the wish to go back and correct mistakes, traveling through how could I have done this better. The ending was somewhat ambiguous, and thus no 10 stars.

Familiar sci-fi tropes such as parallel universes and string theory are explored through the idea of deja vu. Starts as a low budget, made for TV romance with unfamiliar actors and slowly develops into an obsession riddled pseudo sci-fi thriller where Sydney, the female lead, compulsively attempts to recapture lost love. The biggest problem I had with the film is how unlikeable the cast is. I found it hard to care about any of them. They were all kind of ass-holes if you ask me.

I wanted to like this film but just couldn't. I am a big fan of Ksenia Solo and her acting. She did a remarkable job with what she was given but unfortunately it wasn't much. Also there was very little on screen chemistry between Ksenia and Deigo, I just couldn't see them as a couple. This could also be because of the writing, the story line never showed them as a happy couple only as a driven one. My question through out was why does she love him? Why does she care about him? It is a shame that the writing never really captured the imagination, the idea of alternate realities could have been so much better.

The characters in this film give me no reason to like them, empathize with them or watch them. The dialog seems to consist of a beautiful girl and a poorly groomed guy screaming the F word at each other. With the plethora of entertainment out there, surely there is something else I can find better than this!

Something of a low-budget allegory, interestingly laid out, dealing with the acceptance each of us must find when confronted in life with deep disappointment and despair. You can (and must) wallow unhappily for awhile, as is only human---but to survive and come through the other side, you eventually have to accept that things can't be forced or molded into the shapes/situations you desire, no matter how much you want them to be. Not everyone can accept this simple truth...but this movie tells us it's what the healthy soul comes to realize and embrace. I believe that is what the ending of this intriguing story alludes to.
