Netflix Description: "After accidentally traveling to the past, Héctor (Karra Elejalde) meets himself and triggers a series of mysterious events that lead to a shocking crime. The gripping time-travel story -- at once deeply intricate and easy to follow -- also stars Candela Fernández. Oscar-nominated short-film director Nacho Vigalondo makes his feature debut with this finely crafted sci-fi thriller."My Thoughts: I'm starting my list from the bottom of my list and going up. So let me say up front, this movie isn't available on Netflix's instant play anymore. However, it is where I discovered it and I have to say that it was a good movie despite appearing pretty low budget and some pieces of the story being a bit obvious. I had originally checked this out as someone recommended it if you like the movie, "Let The Right One In"... it's not anything like that. I'm not sure where they got that, either... yes, they are foreign movies, but that's about the end of the similarities.
I feel like I may have enjoyed the movie more if I never knew the title. You read the title, you know it's something about time traveling. With that seed planted in your head, it's easy to begin guessing as the movie starts where everything is going. With that said, it is an easy and fun watch. Its not going to hurt your head trying to figure out the time paradoxes, it doesn't have a lot of subtext... so if you're in the mood for an entertaining sci-fi/thriller, its a good watch.
