Predestination

“The Spierig brothers have deftly fashioned an unpredictable thrill ride, and the joy is to fit together all its puzzle pieces.”

Martin Tsai, Los Angeles Times · 90

“A meticulously crafted, sparse but beautifully photographed full-length feature film with strong work from a reliable veteran and a breakout performance from an actor you might not have heard of before.”

Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times · 88

“As the heart of the story, however, Sarah Snook delivers a knockout performance that calls on her to perform the kind of tricky scenes that could have resulted in bad laughs throughout if handled incorrectly. Not only does she pull off her performance brilliantly throughout—there is not one moment in which she is anything less that utterly convincing and believable.”

Peter Sobczynski, RogerEbert.com · 88

“If time-travel is your thing, you learn to shrug off inconsistencies. You debate chicken-egg questions over drinks or dope and mull over all the permutations. You graph it. You wish like hell you had a time machine. You savor every discombobulating, ludicrous, thrilling second of Predestination.”

David Edelstein, New York Magazine (Vulture) · 80

“A funny, affecting, twisted tale, which demands you pay close attention to every throwaway detail.”
