    Madam Web. The premise of your perception being un-stuck in time and the ramifications that has for your psyche is really cool. What’s not cool is hiring bad writers and nepo baby actresses to portray that story

      Different thought so I’m leaving a second comment. For whatever reason I thought We Live In Time had this premise for like a third of the movie. In hindsight I don’t really know why I did. I think it’s because Andrew Garfield’s character took notes and seemed flustered at times? I suppose I thought this was him trying to keep things straight in his brain? No. It’s just a normal story told in a noninear fashion. I loved it though.

      Major end spoilers

      What sucked is that it was about losing a loved on to cancer. We did not know this going in and out partner lost their mother to cancer a few years ago. So it hit REALLY fucking hard. There’s even a line Pugh says that’s something like “I don’t wanna some kid who’s just gonna have a dead mom because of cancer.” Great movie. Bring tissues.

      Slaughterhouse Five (the book) did this fairly well, though the movie isn’t much better than Madame Web.
