Critic Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter John DeFore

Jan 21, 2016

Gentry's tense screenplay works well on its own, but gets a big assist from music and production design intent on conjuring some very specific moods. Read full review

Having such a small number of characters, like the limitations caused by budgetary constraints, might sound like a recipe for creative claustrophobia, but Gentry turns these givens to his advantage, almost as if using Synchronicity to articulate a less-is-more filmmaking philosophy.

Variety Dennis Harvey

Jan 21, 2016

Synchronicity is best approached as a sort of Rubik’s cube, a series of shiny, sliding, interlocking surfaces that require dexterity to move and figure out, but contain nothing beneath of pressing value. Read full review

No matter how gorgeous Synchronicity looks, it can’t keep you from feeling this was an opportunity missed. Read full review

Slant Magazine Chuck Bowen

Jan 19, 2016

Writer-director Jacob Gentry's film has the emotional fatuousness of uncertain softcore erotica. Read full review

Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern

Jan 21, 2016

The film almost suffocates on overripe dialogue (“We are messing with the primal forces of nature here”) and finally loses its way in the logical contradictions — or the nonlogical implications — of time travel. Read full review

Los Angeles Times Noel Murray

Jan 21, 2016

After an hour or so of bad noir dialogue and convoluted plotting, viewers may wish they could jump back in time and watch something else. Read full review

The script is nothing new... But the connection with a love story that spans through space, time and dimensions gives a sweet taste.
She is really gorgeous (Brianne Davis).
Nice the picture and the soundtrack (Ghostland Observatory).
Pretty good movie overall for a low budget.

Mix of Movie "Gattaca" - except unlike a golden age; this is a dark "L.A. noire" style future, with a similar story driven narrative, theory, like that of Video Game "Bioshock Infinite". Mix in themes similar to "Inception", "About Time","Interstellar" and "The Prestige".

Greatness accentuated by a excellent soundtrack (except for the very last track whilst credits, really could have been better). Excellent movie.… Expand

Actually super smart. Of course time travel physics problems aren't resolved.

But its waaaay smarter than most time travel movies.

And what it looks like bad acting at first (30'), in reality it ISNT.

If you have patience. This one is good.
