In the Time It Takes to Get There

About This Movie

In the Time It Takes to Get There is a curious blend of modernity and history, placing a disenchanted social media influencer in an 18th-century setting. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that’s part of the charm. You get this odd juxtaposition of contemporary dilemmas wrapped in period attire, which creates a uniquely humorous atmosphere. The performances are quite engaging, with a noticeable emphasis on the absurdity of social media culture when set against historical norms. Practical effects and costumes do a decent job of grounding it, though it's the dialogue that often steals the show. There's something distinctly refreshing about how it tackles themes of isolation and connection across centuries.
