Neat concept, makes you think. Very slow moving at the beginning, better at the end. Would not see again.

It seriously changed my outlook on life. It struck a chord in my soul I did not was there. A profound movie letting us know that life can change as easily as the winds.

Pleasantly surprised . Loved the movie. Wish I would have seen in on the big screen now. I bought the DVD. Wonderful story, acting. I was impressed

Haunting, evocative movie--unforgettable! A fabulist's tale of the inexorable forwardness of time. Tremendously moving...I can't quite put its effect into words. Everything, fate, loss, the ravages of age...all heightened by the fable of backwardness of physical aging of the main character. Subtle and incredible. Starting at the beginning with the sensless and tragic loss of lives of the clockmaker's sons. The audience is made to feel the actual sense of loss that underlies and underscores our every-day lives. People die, are lost even while alive to the ravages of time.... A philosophical and cinematic masterpiece!
