About Time Ratings & Reviews
- DexJanuary 13, 2026Intelligent love story!
- charliesimon778July 15, 2025I thought this movie was an amazing romantic movie how it started out and ended. I liked how one of the characters was in love with Margot Robbie’s character but ended up seeing someone else. What I liked seeing the most in this movie was seeing some of the scenes with Margot Robbie even though she was not in it much. I wished it would have shown more of Margot Robbie in it. I thought that the scenes with Margot Robbie were the best parts in this movie. I would give Margot Robbie 11 out of 10 stars for best performances and I thought her character looked amazing in this movie.
- Justin GriggJanuary 13, 2026This is one of my favorite feel good movies. I know there are some sad topics, but I love the story lines addressing the “I wish I could do that again” then transitioning to “treat every day like it’s your last.”

- rossn21June 15, 2025Fuck “Love Actually”, this is the best romance movie ever made
- ShaydeknightOctober 20, 2025Every now and then, a film comes along that doesn't just tell a story, it genuinely affects you. About Time is that kind of film. Richard Curtis manages to blend light science fiction, romance, comedy, and drama into something that feels effortless, human, and profoundly moving. Unless you're an absolute sociopath, you will laugh a lot. And cry A LOT. At its core, this isn't a film about time travel, it's about love in its many forms and about learning to live with the consequences of our choices. The ability to revisit the past may sound like a blessing, but Curtis uses it to show that life's beauty lies in its imperfections, in the moments we can't edit or undo. The message is simple and deeply resonant: you can't carry the past with you every step, you have to live forward. The relationship between father and son is the emotional anchor, it's tender, understated, and beautifully played. Bill Nighy and Domhnall Gleeson share a warmth that feels utterly real, full of quiet affection and unspoken understanding. Their scenes together have that rare quality of making you smile through tears. The relationship between Nighy and Duncan (Dad and Mum) radiates a kind of lived-in grace. It's the quiet comfort of two people who've spent a lifetime choosing each other. And then there's the romance between Gleeson and Rachel McAdams, which manages to be funny, awkward, and genuinely sweet all at once. Nothing feels forced. Curtis understands that love, like time, is best measured in small, ordinary moments. By the time the story reaches its emotional crescendo, you realize you've laughed as much as you've cried, and both feel completely earned. About Time is a film about gratitude, acceptance, and the gentle ache of impermanence. It's Curtis' most sincere work, a reminder that life's greatest gift isn't time itself, but the people we share it with.

- Scott SteadDecember 14, 2025Very unique time travel film. Great writing, solid plot and all the feels.
- CallumNovember 23, 2025⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – About Time – A Love Story Sewn Into the Fabric of Life About Time is one of those rare romantic dramas that sneaks up on you, wraps itself around your heart, and then quietly breaks it in the most beautifully British way possible. It begins like a sweet, quirky romcom and ends as something much deeper — a meditation on time, family, love, and the quiet sacrifices we make without ever announcing them. It’s warm, funny, and devastating in equal measure. You can see shades of The Time Traveler’s Wife throughout, and in some ways this really does feel like the emotional prequel — the early years before the weight of time-traveling consequences truly sets in. There’s a moral cost embedded in the gift, and the film doesn’t shy away from that. It’s not all roses and fairytale logic; the story slowly reveals a knot of responsibility and regret that sits beneath the sweetness, giving the entire film a resonance that lasts far beyond the credits. And yes — Margot Robbie appears in only a handful of scenes, but she leaves a mark. Her character is the perfect youthful fantasy, the unattainable crush that feels monumental in the moment, only to later become part of life’s background tapestry. The film uses her exactly as intended: a reminder that desire often isn’t destiny, and that the real story unfolds with the people who stay, not the ones we briefly orbit. Domhnall Gleeson carries the film gently, and Rachel McAdams is effortlessly charming, but it’s Bill Nighy who steals the soul of it. Their father–son dynamic elevates this from romance to something far more universal. In the end, About Time becomes a soft philosophical whisper: that life is lived not through rewinds and rewrites, but in learning to savour the imperfect present. Uncle Ben would approve — with great power does indeed come great responsibility, and this film explores that with tenderness instead of spectacle. 🍷 Pairing: A glass of aged red — warm, reflective, and quietly emotional, the kind of drink that deepens as you sit with it, much like the film itself.
- Billy ZaneOctober 5, 2025I watched this movie wanting purely because of the time travel, but it's so much more than that. One of my favorites and I recomend anyone to watch it.
