Well I
felt it was about time I watched "About Time." A movie that a friend
and my mother both have enjoyed and talked about with high aspirations.
This is my review.
In a brief nutshell it is a movie that
isn't one you should just see, it is a must see. From the writer of
Love Actually brings another brilliant story and concept. From all
views of the movie it seems to be just a love story and
while that story is something that helps push it forward; I found the
real story to be more about life in general. The strongest part and
most empowering parts to me were his relationship with his father.
Without any spoilers just in case at this point, there is a gift the
men in the family can do at age 21. This gift gives such a great
concept on every aspect and every decision made in the movie. The bond
and acting dynamics brought out by each actor/ actress is well executed.
Every song that is played or piano note is put in at the right moment,
so when you hit a slow scene or series of shots, you don't feel bored,
you just go with the story.
Domhnall Gleeson who plays Tim does
phenomenal from both acting and narrating perspectives. Rachel McAdams
and Bill Nighy bring a lot to the screen as well and the parts they
play in Tim's life throughout the movie are the focal points. When all
was said and done, I cried for 4 minutes and smiled with better outlook
of how to just live each day better. This is the movie I should of seen
when it came out. This movie scores an A.
