Timestalker Reviews

All Critics Top Critics All Audience Verified Audience
Eddie Harrison film-authority.com Feb 14, 2025 3/5
…the writer, director and star of Timestalkers, Alice Lowe, is a comic talent to watch; her debut is huge of scope and wide of imagination, and she’s always willing to go for self-deprecating laughs…

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

Lowe creates a smart, unexpected endeavor in the offering, continuing her directorial experimentation and excellence.

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.

Alistair Harkness Scotsman Dec 4, 2024 2/5
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.

Prevenge director Alice Lowe's second feature is a time-travelling hoot.

Whang Yee Ling The Straits Times (Singapore) Nov 21, 2024 4/5
Inventive and subversive, this cautionary fable on erotomania is a comedy for the ages.

Jayne Nelson Radio Times Nov 19, 2024 3/5
The result is an enjoyably silly journey, scattered with surreal one-liners and memorable set pieces.

Katie Hogan FILMHOUNDS Magazine Oct 24, 2024 4/5
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.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Oct 14, 2024 2/5
It’s a fun premise, but Lowe’s follow-up to her deliciously nasty 2016 debut, Prevenge, is disappointingly underpowered and slapdash.

... The film nevertheless delivers caustic comment on the eternal return of Mr Wrong.

Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Oct 14, 2024 4/5
As arcane and silly as it is quietly moving, the film ricochets madly across multiple timeframes...

Timestalker is totally -- and delightfully -- bonkers right from its first scene.

Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) Oct 11, 2024 4/5
Lowe lets all these ideas brew in a frothy, funny, pastel-tinged concoction.

Jonathan Romney Financial Times Oct 11, 2024 2/5
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.
