Timecrimes (2007)
Director: Nacho Vigalondo
Movie review
From Time Out New York
Here’s what you’ll learn from Nacho Vigalondo’s sci-fi thriller: If you’re a middle-aged man (Elejalde), you shouldn’t spy on women undressing in the woods. If a mutilated stranger attacks you, it’s best not to seek shelter in a spooky clinic. Finally, if a scientist (Vigalondo) tells you to hide inside a mysterious vat, you may end up being chased by your own clones. This rehash of space-time-continuum shenanigans plays like a high-concept game of Mouse Trap; each piece clicks punctually into place, but you’re eventually left with just a pile of scattered clutter.Author: David Fear
