![Boy Roarbison [fka Nag Champion]](https://a.ltrbxd.com/resized/avatar/upload/2/6/5/9/8/shard/avtr-0-80-0-80-crop.jpg?v=9374058d24)
Near perfect. One of the best time-travel films I've seen, in part because of the juxtaposition of its intricate script & the simplicity of its setting. You would never guess that traveling only mere hours back in time would serve for such a compelling narrative, but "Timecrimes" pulls it off with brilliant pacing and a plot woven with intelligent twists, not ones that pander to its audience or insult their intelligence. Karra Elejalde [Hector] delivers a tremendously compelling lead performance[s], and is anchored by a keen supporting role from the film's director Nacho Vigalondo as a scientist in the wrong place at the wrong time[s]. For my money, I have trouble deciding which low-budget time-travel feature is better, "Timecrimes" or "Primer". And that is high praise in and of itself.

Well that was cool, inventive, and moody!
I can't believe I've never heard of this before.

It's like if the last third of Prisoner of Azkaban were an indie Spanish movie.
An intriguing concept and a fun and layered story. Timecrimes is an impressively constructed film, making Christopher Nolan insanely jealous.
My biggest criticism of the movie is the character motivations, I feel like it didn't always make sense. I don't quite know why he never tried to break with the natural flow of events, I feel like he would have tried that at least once rather than taking things for granted. Same goes with his choices in the first iteration of the story, it seems like he had opportunities to break with what people expected him to do.
Very glad I watched this, thank you Siegel!

Me watching this movie: pfft, I figured this twist out right away! ... Oh wait, that's not the point...
Seriously though, what a good time travel thriller! Gets more and more interesting as the movie progresses and develops the concept.

Simple.Ingenius.Brilliant.
Timecrimes brings to the table the well-worn genre of the time travel enigma in such an engaging, refreshing and minimalistic fashion that I was riveted throughout the experience. The plot is woven with great intricacy and Nacho Vigalondo does a great job in putting together the pieces of the puzzle in such a manner that the level of intrigue never diminishes instead it is always on rise and is left on a high in the end. The film does itself some great good by not explaining things too much as to leave the audiences with nothing to chew on. The relatively open ending and the confusion that the lead character has with the concept makes the film more accessible…

"We've seen each other before, right?"
Nacho Vigalondo's Timecrimes is a low-budget Spanish time travel film that cleverly used its familiar sci-fi trope to bring forth something terrifying, darkly funny, peculiar, smart, and tragic. Unlike most time travel films, this one is pretty easy enough to follow - and that's a good thing!
On the surface, this seems like your typical time-travel paradox film. But if you look and analyze it deeply, you'll find out that Nacho Vigalondo has created a film that can also work as an allegory on adultery/infidelity.
The film opens with Hector, a married man, who is spying on a beautiful woman undressing in the woods near his property. Intrigue, he follows her into the woods.…

An exploration of time travel paradoxes that vividly depicts the cascading outcomes that arise from immersing oneself in a vat full of cum in the middle of the woods.

Now I understand why so many friends and acquaintances were talking about this film directed by Nacho Vigalondo and urged me to watch it with a lot of enthusiasm.
Timecrimes handles two issues that I love in films about time travel and they are rarely addressed with such impetuosity:
1. It makes a point of showing how parables can really exist.
2. Every action has a why and maybe things happen for a reason after all, regardless of its purpose.The beginning of the film can be its weakest point, and its first minutes are looking for a very intriguing plot, some forced twists, almost shoehorned, that we've seen in other films before, but as the story progresses, that attention…
