Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Very nice, an adult tale of time travel, "I'll Follow You Down" 2013 Written and Directed by Richie Mehta, and staring Haley Joel Osment and Gillian Anderson/ Spoiler alert ahead. well worth watching, give it a shot. Ever wonder what would happen if you changed a critical event in your life. Of course you have, its a basic time travel theme. This film starts with the disappearance of A brilliant scientist and loving husband and father. The twelve year aftermath full of heartbreak and fears, culminates with a clue to the missing fathers whereabouts. He took a trip back in time to meet Einstien. but never made it home. Mugged and murdered in the past. A situation the now much older son seeks to correct. He figures out his dad's plan, and in turn seeks to go back to warn his father. The movie is long on emotion, The questions it raises are valid. The movie lacks car chases, explosions of any kind, zero special effects. nor epic vistas, battles or aliens. Its ending packs a punch just the same.. Well acted all around. Unexpected thumbs up. I had not heard of this one.Be aware, It is slow paced.and anyone expecting thrills, should most likely look elsewhere. However if you are looking for a well told of how we cope with life, this gets Eight our of Ten "making things right", Stars

Anyone who gives this over an average rating has absolutely no concept of time travel. Whatever happened has happened! You cannot go back in time without it already have happened!! Hence you cannot go back in time. You could - according to Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein himself - only possibly go forward. This film was poor on so many different levels that it was very nearly pathetic. Also on a side note....how the hell does an iPad work back in time?? Disgraceful movie.

Gabriel (Rufus Sewell) disappears during a business trip. His wife Marika (Gillian Anderson) is left to raise their son Erol. Twelve years later, Erol (Haley Joel Osment) is a student of his grandfather Sal (Victor Garber). He tells him about his father possibly traveled back in time to 1946. Erol starts working on their own time machine while his girlfriend Grace informs him about her pregnancy. She fears his interference changing their relationship.This does not have enough tension. It has no intensity. Haley Joel Osment is limited as the leading man. The lead in the first act is actually Gillian Anderson. This is basically a long extended sci-fi TV. In fact, I would cut it down to 46 minutes and make a pretty good hour long TV episode. This doesn't have the flash of even the smallest sci-fi indies. The premise is fine but there isn't enough to bulk it up.

I love time travel-themed movies (even somewhat weak ones), and I'm a fan of Gillian Anderson, but "I'll Follow You Down" is still a bad movie. The good: Gillian Anderson is in it. "I'll Follow You Down" is well shot, with very nice color and lighting. The sound is fine. The decent: The film score is fine, except that at times it sets an awkward, almost Disney-like, tone (and this film has quite a serious tone). The bad: The editing is clunky during scene breaks -- there's one fade to black that lasts so, so, so, so, so, so long that it completely takes you out of the story. The screenplay needed a couple of big rewrites and better direction. The story focused on all the wrong elements and none of the right ones. The most compelling aspect of the movie was given all of about 5 minutes. The writing was weak to the point of, at times, making good actors look bad. There's a decent plot idea but not much of a plot. The plot points that do exist are so forced that they're quite literally laughable, the most notable example being a coffee shop scene about 4/5 into the story. In an attempt to draw out the dramatic tension, a character is being so ridiculously unaware of the truth that's right in front of him/her that you wonder if the character might be mentally delayed. The bottom line: Fail.
