Repeat

Not going to give any spoiler alerts; suffice it to say this indie film has heart, intrigue, mystery and a slightly Dr Who feel to it (in a good way). Suspend disbelief for a while and enjoy the ride.

An interesting one - When it comes to low budget British indie films this is up there. Great performances from the leads and an interesting story. This film is fairly swift with a nice short run time and an engaging twisty story with a really cool payoff. Not much else to say but worth a watch for sure.

Its one of those films that's going to have a little cult following I think.

Let's cut to the chase. About 19 out of 20 indies are rubbish. It is the nature of the beast. Richard Miller's REPEAT is without doubt the 1 in 20 that is so good it mimics theatre quality, or at the very least broadcast TV quality. The writing, acting, and direction are superb. Nor is the audience spoon-fed with frothy exposition. Right off the top, the viewer has to roll up their sleeves and figure out what exactly is going on with this very strange, very frazzled, college professor whose little girl is missing; his marriage is imploding; his job is in jeopardy; and oh yeah every night he gives free public demos of his new invention which, coincidentally, actually talks to the dead. Eerily similar in tone and pacing to Darren Aronofsky's Pi (1998). Well worth a watch.

The story kept me interested throughout, I was not sure which direction it was going to go and the main plot of the movie was a thought provoking concept. The highlight for me though was the emotional representation of the lead roles who are trying to navigate through their grief and the impact this has on their relationship.

A very good movie. For what it's worth this is an exquisite low budget production. The lighting could have been better but other than that I really enjoyed it. It's worth buying or at least renting.
