It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Lovely use of 3D walk through capture. Dislike the fake 10 stars reviews. Follow the ninja for talent in action/

Being traumatized after breaking up with his girlfriend, an apparently normal teenager gains insomnia. As he tries to kill time, he gets a job at a local supermarket where he begins to experience a lot of weird facts about life itself. He's trapped between the boundaries of reality and imagination with the ability to freeze time and thus being able to see the world from a very different perspective.It's a movie which benefits from an unique artistic direction, presenting what initially seems pretty ordinary story, but manages to take it to a complete new level. The whole idea of stopping time is simply astonishing, very well thought and implemented into the film, bringing a lot of spice into an already excellent blend. Speaking of which, the movie is able to combine a very good plot, told in a special way by the main character as the story progresses, a couple of complex and very different characters, much drama and romance into the same place, thus the result is incredible. Besides being captivating and very interesting, besides the affection the main character demands and also receives from the viewer, and also besides the excellent acting, this one manages to be funny in many moments, even hilarious at times, bringing a change of mood whenever it considers it necessary.As you might have guessed by now, I was truly impressed by this movie. It managed to provide some high-quality time with its story, its excellent characters and actors, its impressive artistic and cinematic direction, generating plenty of emotion, drama but also laughter. It seems like a biography but the way it is presented definitely made me fell for it.

I still can't believe that such a good movie don't have a good trailer on youtube. Try to show to friends "a great movie that I've seen few years ago" went horribly wrong. Nobody wanted to watch it based on trailer.Yet, the movie influenced me a lot. I remember that at the beginning I've been thinking that it's just another comedy based in supermarket. Then, gradually my perception of the movie changed. At the end I was really impressed in favor of the piece.I am looking forward to watch it again but with some proper audience at my side.

and I'm glad I didn't. This film is too deep to take away any true meaning from it in a short.At first glance of the Cover Art, I almost turned away because gratuitous nudity was not what I was seeking. I'm just happy that I did not judge the film itself solely on the Cover.Even though I am a Man... I am a Romantic and have always been. I appreciate films that explore the intricacies of the relationships between Men and Women, especially those which delve into the emotions, pain, sorry and happiness experienced by each.While I was initially put off by his undressing the women in the store unknowingly, I had to remind myself that this was merely a fantasy and had more to do with his boredom and Artistic side.The Childish antics of his fellow employees weren't amusing to me however, they also had their purpose in the story and did not take away from it for me.His love for Sharon and how he expressed it through his art was quite touching and a fitting direction for the film to it's conclusion, which was quite touching.Yes, I enjoyed the film... so much so, that I watched it two evenings in a row.
