Critic Review - The Atlantic

A mind-bending ride that is not afraid to slow down now and again, to explore themes of regret and redemption, solitude and sacrifice, love and loss. It's a movie worth seeing and, perhaps, going back to see again.

I was able to cut myself off from reading mid sentence about half way through, luckily, because otherwise I would have learned much more about the plot than I want to. I think it was poor practice as a journalist, and (I'm assuming) movie lover, to divulge that much information.

But what do I know.

Exploring the generalities of the plot, such as themes, does nothing to "spoil" the film.In fact, it gives the reader insight to the aspects of the film WITHOUT giving away specifics of the plot.

In an alternate reality (see what I did there?) you would understand the actual meaning of "spoiler" and "journalist", David.

Very well said. I couldn't agree more.

Stating that the movie is about regret and redemption isn't a spoiler.

Why do you people pretend that you are intellectual movie snobs? Just about every 'paid' reviewer on RT writes a bunch of gay snob remarks that has no actual basis on reality.

The fact that you use "gay" in a derogatory sense automatically causes you to lose all credibility, Carl. Congrats on learning how to use the interwebz though.
