Some years after Primer demonstrated that certain movies require a doctorate in rocket science to be enjoyed, a similarly small-scale independent film from Europe came along and dismissed that suggestion in just 92 minutes. It did this by making a persuasive case for the concept of internal logic. It doesn't matter if a plot's mechanics withstand real-world scrutiny; all that matters is whether the plot stays true to its own principles. And that's what the European film did with the often-deconstructed idea of time travel. Without using special effects or Bruce Willis, the film earned stellar reviews and eventually garnered a cult following. It remains a fan-favorite and is currently available to stream on HBO Max. But you're going to want to rush, because it's leaving the streamer in only a few days.
