On a recommendation I checked this movie out and it was interesting. The premise is that on a night where a comet is going over head a dinner party discovers that the house down the street contains copies of themselves. It is a very small scale (basically no special effects) and low key take on parallel universes (kind of how Primer was a low key take on Time Travel). Plus it’s got Xander from Buffy in it. It’s the first time I saw him in anything since Kitchen Confidential. I don’t want to over hype it but if you have Amazon Prime, it is free to watch and worth the 90 minutes. I liked it. ---

85% at RT, but only 69% among top critics. I read “Emilia Fox” and thought: I’m adding _that_. Then I realized it’s “Emily Foxler”. Oops. A related film is _The One I Love_ with Elizabeth Moss. Similar RT ratings. Also streaming now. Not Amazon Prime free but is on Netflix. (Fun fact: Fox was married to Jared Harris, who was on _Mad Men_ with Moss.) ---

Thanks for the recommendation. I liked it and so did my wife. I’m not sure it is as good as Primer, a movie I only saw once and liked quite a bit more. Anyway, it was well done and I would recommend it to just about anyone. ---

I just watched this based on the OP’s recommendation. Interesting premise with a cool twist at the end. I didn’t like most of the characters, and I sense I wasn’t supposed to, especially given the ending (where she basically chooses the set of friends she likes best). I don’t know if it was a good movie, but it will be on my mind. ---

Very interesting and clever. I have to go through it again to pick up some details. I’m not a fan of shaky cameras and Altmanesque natural dialog but it worked fairly well here. It may not be for everybody, but if you’re tired of typical Hollywood you’ll probably like the experience. ---

Glad people have liked it. I had a feeling there would be some fans here. ---

I watched it a while ago and also liked it. It was a clever take on the multiple dimensions/time travel thing. ---
