Lowe packs a ton of messaging into a very tightly wound package from patriarchy to feminism and fate to free will. It works more than not.

Timestalker is a clever idea in need of some substance.

The result is a film that feels undeniably human, even as it spirals into absurdity.

A rollicking, risk-taking and deftly funny subversion of fairytale romance, Timestalker shows off Lowe’s admirable ambition

The ensemble is game for the wacky story, and Lowe gets the most out of the crew. While some aspects of Timestalker could use tidying, it’s still a very impressive step for Lowe.

Timestalker is a demented romp through romance with a sense of humor so sharp that of course there's gushing blood.

But while there’s no denying the ambition of the film, the execution falls short. Lowe tends to work in a deadpan register... But too many of the jokes here are dead on arrival.

With great performances from the cast, enjoyable comedy and an atmospheric soundtrack as well, there is something enticing about Timestalker that sets it apart from other comedic historical sci-fic rom-coms.

It’s a fun premise, but Lowe’s follow-up to her deliciously nasty 2016 debut, Prevenge, is disappointingly underpowered and slapdash.

Timestalker feels like a scratchy outline for a film that Lowe didn’t get round to making. Never mind, there’s always the next life.
