Young writer Richard Collier is met on the opening night of his first play by an old lady who begs him to "Come back to me".

    Most time travel movies do a good job of suspending disbelief, this movie fails to deliver on premise scientific practicality, and it’s basically a two day romance, we are supposed to believe in.

    Somewhere in Time is not a film for everyone; it demands an audience willing to embrace its dreamy, romantic fantasy premises. For those who can, it is a touching, memorable, and beautiful experience that has endured as a classic love story, proving that the power of a heartfelt narrative can often outweigh technical or critical flaws. It is highly recommended for dreamers and lovers of classic romance.

    Very intriguing, as the concept of time travel always is. Determination of Reeves character to find answers was riveting, as was his success in going back. Ending was initially sad, but turned out to be happy

    I didn’t expect a classic film to leave this kind of impact on me. The movie tells a unique love story that goes beyond time itself. What really caught my attention is how they used a simple yet fascinating concept of time travel, not through machines, but through the power of the mind and belief.
