7 Splinters in Time

Not sure if other reviewers agree, but I got a vibe of Terry Gilliam's Brazil (1985), particularly during the rants of "John Luka".

I didn't enjoy this a great deal, especially the grating and obnoxious score. It never lets up. I got the impression that the film changed direction a few times in the editing room. It was initially completed in 2014 before being re-edited over the next four years.

I must confess that with about 25 minutes to go, I paused the film to read some reviews to see if I could make sense of it. Within a few seconds of restarting, the librarian character explained everything! So hang in there if you get that far :-)

It's was hard to watch most of the movie. I stopped it early on and later force myself to finish it. I'm pretty sure the wackiness is artistic intention. There was something left unanswered to leave you wondering and intrigued. The acting was and story was good.

An utterly failed attempt to make something like predestination

With the story line could have made something better with no lag of Time and unnecessary flashbacks which are not helpful in any way to viewers

The movie fails to keep the viewer in front of the screen Hence I don't think everyone who start watching the movie shall come to know the story

The portrayal of time travel is the worst you can see in any sci fi movie

This is not your typical movie and it never wants to be that. It's a bit "out there". Stylized very much like Darren Aranofsky's film "Pi" , it tries to put you in the mindset of the main protagonist Darius. It's a film that requires patience and willingness to just go with the flow. Edoardo Ballerini is superb as the lead character, Darius, who is confused yet determined. And director Judet-Weinshel makes effective use of busy camera work to keep the viewers in a desired state of curiosity and WTF confusion. This will either please -or- really annoy the viewer.

For 50 minutes it didn't make any sense, the visuals were gorgeous but the total lack of comprehension was very annoying. I thought that I would have to rate this film with 1. However, some of the reviews made me wait and after the crazy 50 min all of the questions were answered. This is the rare case when waiting actually pays off. I'm glad I went on this bizarre ride.
