Film Review - Omni Loop
September 18, 2024
Writer/director Bernardo Britto returns to the world of time travel with “Omni Loop, going where many, many filmmakers have gone before. He’s choosing the “Groundhog Day” route, following the actions of a woman who can access a week into the past via a mysterious pill, allowing her to replay the days before her own demise. Britto has the stuff of a gripping thriller, but he refuses to pursue it, instead laboring to get emotional with the material, inspecting the heaviness of regret as the main character confronts the decisions of her past. “Omni Loop” isn’t about a ticking clock or a race to deny destiny. It’s much softer than that, with Britto really going for the heart while periodically playing with fantasy events. This patience doesn’t always create riveting cinema, but the movie endeavors to have a soul, making it more sensitive than the usual time travel feature. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
