And if you're having a rough time following it, this will help. (Spoilers, see the flick first.) :)

OMG Jillian, you are SO the type of person to appreciate this movie!

Okay, so honestly... did you follow it all the way through? I kind of lost the timelines half-way through, and have been pondering it for 2 days straight.

Ya I started to get confused but I had enough of the jist to understand what was going on and why. But to understand the movie completely you need to watch it when a pen and notebook in hand.

Soooo on the same page. Even with the confusion, I still followed the plot in a murky way. I think I need to consult with Torley on this one.

It took me most of the first viewing to understand it wasn't sequencial. Then it took another couple of viewings to make the connections nessesary to get an idea of what went where in the stories. On the fifth viewing, I think I got it.

Then my brain melted :eek:

You know... I'm gonna go rent this again... :)

Maslow meets Heisenberg meets Hawkings meets Montaigne, eh? Would you hate me if I said it was predictable? =/

I wouldn't HATE you, but I would send Ebert over to your house with a bag of Paul Newman Popcorn and a dozen roses! :D

It's not really as germane as we would fear from a first-time indie film maker though. Try it on, you might like it! :p

No hating here - but I do get a kick out of the invocation of Heisenberg followed by the declaration of predictability. :D

I watched Primer on all your recommendations and I was not disappointed. What a great film. :)

I have to say that the above link was very helpful after the first viewing (I don't recommend looking at it before the first viewing). I can't wait to watch it again.
