Palm Springs (2020)

Simultaneously derivative and surprising (not to mention entertaining)

[7/10 · 19 August 2020]

I am not sure that time loop movies should be an entire movie genre. I am not sure that we needed another version of Groundhog's Day. I am not sure this movie should have attempted to explain the quantum physics involved in its plot. But I am 100% sure that I enjoyed watching it. I was genuinely amused, surprised, and touched thanks to some pretty great writing and performances. I walked in thinking the movie should not exist, and I walked away glad that it happened anyway. That's a pretty big compliment.
