i understand that you're supposed to be confused but half of the people in this movie looking the same doesn't really help either

As much as I prefer to avoid reducing films to "x + y" influence equations, this really is almost precisely "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" crossed with Primer, and very nearly as heady and arresting as that sounds. Unlike Carruth, Byrkit (who's worked extensively with Gore Verbinski—he has a story credit on Rango, for example) is a bit too eager to explain himself, even tossing in an overly convenient book that lays out Schrödinger's Cat for viewers unfamiliar with quantum decoherence; a more confident filmmaker would have produced a knowing smile in those with some knowledge of physics and let everybody else simply accept the split as magic. His scenario is arguably even more insanely complicated, though…

Sixth or seventh viewing, no score change. Always get strange looks when I wax poetic for this film, but it never ceases to amaze me with its (oxymoronic) "simple complexity." From a purely superficial register, its far more intricate than most people care to explore or even realize. (And, at the risk of sounding cliché, if you've only seen this once then you haven't really seen it at all.) Each revisit has unveiled new microconcepts and possibilities; conversations that previously felt superfluous garner deeper and reconstructed meanings. After I'd watched it (more or less) five times, I created this chart [Edit 220801: The chart has been updated to my new website url.] in an attempt to explain what the…
