Rarely has a film so resourcefully evoked the transportive but decidedly analog thrill of reading. Go to Full Review Juan Barquin RogerEbert.com 5 days ago

The journey itself is what matters for Walker & Auen’s film, and every minute of that is too infectious to even look away for more than a mere moment Go to Full Review Brandon Yu New York Times 5 days ago
The construction here operates at its own frequency, and builds to an eerie climax that extends beyond the books. When it gets there, it becomes a unique little marvel... Go to Full Review Lexi Amoriello Movie Recs by Lex 1 day ago
If you enjoy conspiracy theories, getting lost down research rabbit holes, and contemplating the consequences of mysterious technologies, you’ll probably enjoy Chronovisor—so long as you don’t mind spending more time reading than watching. Go to Full Review Laura Clifford Reeling Reviews 1 day ago

Rich P @RT50451927 12 hrs ago This movie draws you in like few others. From beginning to end, you feel as though you’re not merely watching the story you’re participating in its unfolding mystery. It’s engaging, thrilling, and refreshingly original. Even after the credits roll, the experience stays with you, leaving you asking, "What just happened here?" Give yourself time afterward to process it, because this isn’t a movie you simply leave behind, you take it with you. Go see it. This is an impressive piece of filmmaking, and I’m looking forward to seeing what this talented new filmmaking duo creates next. See more Read all reviews
