#SilverScreenBlack reviews: 'Synchronic' (2019)

(1hr 42mins)

⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2

📣Se7en's Excellent Adventure: Two paramedics in New Orleans discover a trail of grisy deaths, and a roulette ticket to the past.

👍Time-hopping:
This is a wonderfully bold, brooding, and brilliant film by directors Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead, with a sublime soundtrack by Jimmy LaValle.
Convincing non-linear story-telling, great effects,
and superb leads - this truly is some of Anthony Mackie's and Jamie Dornan's best work!

👎Pill-popping:
The final five minutes may be slightly predicatable for some.
(But if you're looking for sensational sci-fi, the 1960s had 'La Jetée', the 1990s had '12 Monkeys', and the 2020s now have 'Synchronic'!)


📽️Favourite scene:
Pick a trip. Any trip.

🥇Best quote:
"The clock just keeps ticking down and the lower your number gets, the more you realise how amazing now is. "

🙁Best depressing quote:
"You may see James Bond, but I experience Charlie Sheen."

❤️Best quote not to say to your partner:
"You know the real tragedy of meeting the love your life? If it happens, it's behind you."
