In an alternate reality, children learn how lucky they will be (their "frequency"), knowledge which shapes their destiny. The unluckiest boy must parse the mysteries of free will in order to pursue his forbidden love of the luckiest girl.
| Half decent concept for a low budget Brit flick.
Watched purely on the strength of the other 3 reviews. Maybe they were fan boys but this was like watching a low budget British TV movie that had been commissioned by BBC Three to a fresh out of film school director with a decent idea. Ignore the comparisons with Eternal Sunshine, Primer and Waking Life, it's a very, very long way from any of them.
Some nice ideas but ultimately a muddled storyline, especially toward the end. Acting was decent for a low budget British movie but I don't think anyone will look back in years to come and think that this was to the director what Pi was to Aronofsky or Following was to Nolan.
The Academy inevitably missed a few gems for 2021 Best Picture nominees. Here are some great movies worth streaming that you won't see at the Oscars this year.
