Repeat

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.

I found this movie had a really interesting take on the theme of alternate realities and is one of the few movies in this genre where I was left saying "Wow, I didn't see that coming" which was a pleasant surprise. The story also did a good job of keeping the alternate timelines together and cohesive. I really enjoyed it. One note: This is the type of movie you can't leave to go get a snack, etc otherwise you will be lost. Get everything you need ahead of time and pay attention to the details.

Really don't get the rating compared to other films with higher ratings. Found it very moving and quite clever. I think it also tied up the loose ends nicely. Well worth a watch.

This is a very clever unique story that keeps you guessing until the end.

We watch as couple Ryan Moore (Tom England) and wife Emily (Charlotte Ritchie)struggle to communicate which is putting strain on their marriage. We find out that their daughter has gone missing and they are dealing with this loss in quite different ways. Ryan a cognitive scientist throws himself into his recent discovery, a machine that he believes can communicate with the dead ( I can not say any more in fear of plot spoilers)

England and Ritchie's performances hit every note, you truly believe and feel every emotion they portray. England's performance as Ryan through out the film is faultless. The supporting cast all delivered convincing performance alongside England & Ritchie.

The screen play was well written and each character introduced had a purpose which supports the story arch. The music score complements the style and is used well to create atmosphere and build tension.

Hats off to the Directors & Crew as they have produced a great film that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end.
