A low-energy Groundhog Day with no jokes... But it really is moving and assured.

A science fiction movie that’s more driven by concepts and emotions than by hardware or action.

Measuring end-of-life anxiety with an open heart if not the most disciplined head, Omni Loop exists in a soupy, ill-defined emotional middle ground — occasionally amusing but not quite funny, and unable (or unwilling) to commit to penetrating melancholia.

In its best moments is a gripping, entertaining look at mortality, family, and the mundane. Mary-Louise Parker gets a chance to deliver a career-best big-screen performance and Ayo Edebiri shows off another side that we haven’t seen much of.
