Got this film not expecting much, hadn't heard of any of the actors, but this just blew my socks off!
I watched it in French with English subtitles, and the subs were very well done, well synched and accurate. I just love an intricate plot that still holds together, makes sense, and keeps me guessing; this was exactly that, and the ending was totally enjoyable (but had me guessing right to the very end!)
The Visitor from the Future reminded me in some ways of Les Visiteurs, the 1993 French comedy starring Jean Reno; it took people from the past & brought them to the present & vice-versa, and I greatly enjoyed that movie as well. Like that film, this also has humor; some slapstick & some more nuanced, but it has a more serious vein under the humor.
The actors were perfect for their roles, and I just loved the changing relationships between Alice and her father, as the theme of "saving the world" was played out, and the consequences of changing the past and how that affects the future was explored.
MORE like this one, PLEASE! I can't recommend it enough, to me it was perfect, and I just wish I could travel back in time to when I hadn't seen it, so that I could watch it again for the first time!
