The Map of Tiny Perfect Things features Mark (Kyle Allen) who gets stuck in a time loop and is living the same day over and over again. Every night at midnight, he falls asleep and wakes up with the previous day starting over again. In the mist of the time loop, one day he meets a mysterious girl named Margaret (Kathryn Newton) who is stuck in the same time loop. They end up on an adventure all around the city finding the "tiny things" that make up that one perfect day, while trying to decide if and how to break the time loop.
I enjoyed watching Mark and Margaret's friendship develop and all the wild things they do without suffering consequences since they are in the time loop, like drive a tractor down the street. My favorite part is when they completely trash a model home, knowing the time loop would put it back the way it was. Another part I love is when Mark shows his dad the tattoo he got. It's funny because he shows it to his dad right before he goes back into the time loop so his dad won't remember. The Map of Tiny Perfect Things has some really great stunts in it, too. One stunt I thought was cool was when Mark throws his water bottle at a closing door and makes it through!
The message of this film is that sometimes the most perfect things in life may be the smallest things. One great lesson Mark's character shows is how to care about others. I loved seeing him remember all the ways he can help people in his town each day and spread kindness. A couple of things adults should look out for in this film include places with Margaret drinking and mild cursing. I rate The Map of Tiny Perfect Things 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 10 to 18 years old. Adults will like it, too.

Kyle Allen steals the show as Mark. His easy chemistry with the screen is magic. Kathryn Newton is a little less fluid in her role as Margaret, especially at the beginning. The small, seldom-seen, supporting cast is tremendous.
As for the tiny perfect things, some indeed are tiny, or perhaps not on the level you or I would consider to be perfect. In fact, a better definition might be: things that makes us smile and think. In any case, the film uses them effectively in that they do indeed bring a smile, and we think; and in fact, we may miss some if we blink. More so, however, they are effective in that we cannot help, at least for a brief time after watching the film, to look for our own.
In closing, this is a rich, yet simple film with deeper undercurrents of love and loss, yes, but more so, beyond being tender and uplifting, it is generous in its message that there are miracles around us every single day, if we just look a little.

Margaret: Are you okay?
Greta: It's a relative term.
Margaret: I thought we'd have so much more time.
Greta: I know. But you will be all right.
Margaret: I don't know. I don't know if I can do this.
Greta: Listen to me, because I'm old and I know things. It's true that we're losing time every day, all the time, until one day it's all gone. But you're gaining it, too. Every second, perfect moments, one after the other, until, by the end, you have your whole life. You have everything. And it costs you everything. But it's worth it. I promise that it's worth it.

- Why wasn't this called "Map Of Us" instead? That phrase was used at least twice and seems to fit better than TPT.
- Near the end (like 1:27:05) when they meet at the pool, she takes her shoes off and is clearly wearing socks. Quick cut to her face, then back to her walking towards him, and she's not wearing socks. Such an obvious mistake. Did it mean something?
