3/10
So Aggravating

Warning: Spoilers
My review will have spoilers on general things that happen in the movie and a few specifics. I never write reviews but this movie upset me enough to write one. It's possible that I missed something, like where did the version of her that gets into the cab come from? Even though I don't know the answer to that, I'm sure there is an answer since the only redeeming quality of this movie is that they have the time- lines down. It feels as though they think that is enough to make it a good movie. Good job, guys, you can keep track of the flow of events within interlacing time-lines. But what good is that if the events are retarded? I don't know HOW many times she was watching the group of friends from behind a corner. Don't you think they might listen to you if they see that there's two of you? That sure would be better than simply telling them that there's multiple of you, yes? And maybe your further knowledge of the plot would help everyone? Or how she decides to play along with the repeated tragedy. She says she wants to change things--not that I'm sure she does because she's retarded--but she knowingly does the exact same thing, keeping the loop going. Since she played into it throughout the entire movie, I can only assume that she wanted to keep it going in order to see her son again and so on. But why? She says her son is in school, right? How about go pick him up!! Like you need to go to the boat and kill people to see him again, seriously. Granted, we don't know where that version of her came from so she may not know what's going on despite seeing at least her son, if not herself, dead in the street. Well how about when she gets back home; must she kill herself? Couldn't she yet again be like, "I know this is weird but let's go talk to the neighbor like nothing is happening. If he freaks out because there's two of us, we know others can see both of us." Sure, they may get captured by the government or something weird, but at least play the movie out where she makes semi-rational decisions! Please. Basically there are things like that all throughout the movie where she doesn't make the most logical decision based on her motivation. She plays into the traps constantly. Unless her motivation isn't her son and is simply to keep copies of herself in this loop for some twisted reason that makes no sense. But as I said before, the movie does a very good job of keeping up with itself. And that's about it.
