I decided to watch this movie despite the very poor ratings. I watched cautiously, ready to switch off if it got too boring or insufferable. But I ended up liking it actually!
This is a movie with four very interconnected story threads that parallel each other in a "rhyming" way that is possible only in a story. (I'm thinking of George Lucas' quote "It's like poetry: it rhymes" - except, this story rhymed much more than Star Wars ever did.)
Of the four stories, one is the central story around which the other three are built. These other three plots are about how three people are trying to address the central plot, but in the process, issues in their own life get addressed.
It involves hiring three actors to play the roles of abstract concepts (Death, Time, and Love) - they are each part of the three plots attempting to affect the central plot - and the three plots deal thematically deal with death, time, and love. Not sure if that makes sense, but I'm trying to explain how this movie rhymes.
Anyways, if you enjoy stories that rhyme like this, then there is a good chance you will enjoy this. But objectively speaking, other than the rhyming, it's a pretty basic movie with not much else to offer. It's not too rich thematically. The acting is fine. The plot is paced fine. Like, in other ways, it's just _fine_.
But I can also see why some people might find the rhyming pretentious or insufferable. So, I recommend you go into this movie, it's better to go into it knowing what you're gonna get.
