Harriet is mourning her boyfriend Max and is unable to move on. She meets David at a support group and learns he is coping losing his parents. They form a bond but Harriet is unable to pursue it further as she is constantly time travelling to the past memories with Max whenever she listens to hit songs associated with Max. Would she go back in time to save Max or would she learn to find the strength required to move on, makes up rest of the story.
This definitely had an intriguing idea and the right person to direct it considering I am kind of a Sucker for time travel stories and I immensely liked Ned Benson's all 3 versions of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. It just made me have expectations which this film didn't meet. The narrative isn't truly engaging and turns repetitive way too soon. The love story not working, both Harriet - Max and Harriet - David, as much as it should have, hurt the film the most. This simply lacked the magic it needed to work.
