Movie Reviews
“Weirder and more contemplative than many of its time-traveling brethren, Predestination is a stylish head trip. It also marks Australian actor Snook as one to watch (…) Rating: ??? (out of four)” Sara Stewart: New York Post
“The film comes from the fine tradition of other time travel thrillers like Primer, Looper and Source Code, but Predestination takes temporal paradoxes to an entirely new (and nearly unsustainable) level” Elizabeth Kerr: The Hollywood Reporter
Visitor Rating: 3 Stars
