Weird Comedy - Timestalker review by GI
A bonkers and off-kilter comedy about a woman who is destined to fall in love with the same unworthy man and die for him before being reincarnated each time to suffer the same fate.....or is she just mentally ill? Alice Lowe's comedy has a bit of Peter Greenaway's storytelling style and the vibe of an early Ben Wheatley feature. She is Agnes who we see in different lives from the mid 1600s and through various later incarnations some fleeting and some in more depth. Each time she becomes besotted with Alex (Aneurin Barnard) even though he's a complete waste of space. Several other characters seem to follow her through these lives including Nick Frost as George, a violent jealous man who often kills her! This could be interpreted as madness through obsession and the film heavily leans in that direction at one point but it's a film that is always slightly unclear as if the themes can't get through the narrative. Either way I has some funny moments but it's a little too bizarre for my taste.
