The Time Traveler's Wife

While the sci-fi part surprised me with remarkably glaring logical loopholes, blind plot alleys, and unresolved "mythology" of time jumps, in the romantic-dramatic aspect, I adored Schwentke's work, rooted for Henry and renamed the movie as "Enchanted in Love". Nobody has been as lovable as Rachel McAdams portraying Clare in a long time. 70% (20.11.2009)

I've been thinking and asking myself for a long time: "What did this movie give me?" An enjoyable movie experience? I wouldn't say so. Did I get catharsis and shed buckets of tears? No, I didn't. Did I enjoy it? I don't recall doing so... Was I in suspense? Was I eating it up? Was I visually captivated? No, no, no. I can't say it's a bad movie, but I didn't take anything away from it – no impression, no feeling, no desire to discuss it with friends. I wasn't impressed with the acting either. Sure, the film has an interesting subject, but the execution is just so dry... it didn't sit well with me. I'm not going to say it's a waste of time when I know that for some, it's sure to be a powerful cinematic experience and a walk through the valley of tears. For me, it was just killing time and where I sometimes found myself staring out the window. A better 2 stars. (29.05.2011)

This is my idea of a perfect romantic movie. This story about a librarian who due to a genetic disorder jumps around in time, but, even so, finds love appealed to me for the ease and effortlessness with which it was told. The excellently cast Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana who simply slipped into their roles with amazing grace are one of the driving forces of the movie. You simply believe in them. Their ups and downs are (apart from one) perfectly plausible. That’s its main strength. The background music is also very pleasant and all in all it’s a really nice movie. (02.01.2010)

For the first time in a long time, a romantic film with a decent idea. You mustn't tinker too much with time travel or you'll go crazy in seconds, but who cares? The perfect film for men and women. Men would also return to Rachel McAdams endlessly, and women would wait a lifetime for travelers like Eric Bana, just like Claire... This was another film that touched me. (15.12.2009)

A weirdly written travesty that I was able to watch till the end only thanks to the presence of the most beautiful actress of her generation – Rachel only needs to stand before the camera, even fully dressed, and I’m happy. Eric Bana is also cool and it didn’t make me so mad to see him touch Rachel, but other than that, it’s very illogical nonsense that can only manage to draw your attention in the last half hour. If a book with this topic can become a best seller, and if its concept is similar to the film’s, God save us all! The final scene with the encounter on the meadow is beautiful, of course, and touching, but from the rest, the only thing that brings any pleasure is the beautiful Rachel. 45% (11.02.2021)

I quite liked the film despite its illogicality. (14.05.2020)
