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.

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.

Synchronicity is more contraption than movie, its plot as mechanically functional as a clock, rotating characters around like gears.

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.
