Matter of Time

About This Movie

Matter of Time is a quirky blend of comedy, drama, and sci-fi that really vibes with the whimsical yet poignant. Charlie Fleck, our 29-year-old protagonist, is pretty relatable as he juggles his aspirations of becoming a video game designer. The time-stopping device adds this fantastical twist – it’s not just a gimmick, it really plays into his character journey. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it captures that essence of youthful ambition and the pitfalls that come with it. The practical effects used for the time-stopping sequences have a charming, retro feel, reminding us of old-school sci-fi while bringing a fresh perspective. Snead's direction has this warm, light-hearted atmosphere, and the performances, especially from Charlie's friend Gibbs, really stand out with their endearing eccentricity.
