If love is in the form of a circle, what lines would you cross to be with your soulmate? In this gripping, near-future love story directed by Oscar winner John Ridley, Nick and Janine (Oscar nominees Leslie Odom, Jr. and Cynthia Erivo) live in marital bliss, until Janine's ex-husband (Orlando Bloom) warps time to try to tear them apart using Nick's college girlfriend (Freida Pinto). As Nick's memories and reality disappear, he must decide what he's willing to sacrifice in order to hold onto - or let go of - everything he loves. Can love endure in a future where time is fluid, and all of life may be just an illusion?

Critics Consensus: Despite a nifty premise and some talented stars, Needle in a Timestack is too slack and diffuse to recommend searching for.

Mark Leeper's Reviews

Mark R. Leeper

NEEDLE IN A TIMESTACK is based on a story by popular SF author Robert Silverberg. Though he has been a prolific author for the last 70 years, little of his work has been filmed (the major exception is THE BICENTENNIAL MAN, based on "The Positronic Man").

Needle in a Timestack is a convoluted, unconvincing romantic sci-fi drama, but it does raise some fascinating questions.

Looking for a needle in a haystack is more fun than watching Needle in a Timestack. This excruciatingly dull movie tries to have a 'musical chairs' approach to romance, but it's ultimately a time-wasting bore with nothing to say.

Carla Renata

Time Travel. Romance and strong performances from Orlando Bloom, Freida Pinto, Cynthia Erivo and Leslie Odom, Jr. in this John Ridley directed sci-fi flick is interestingly thought provoking.

Russ Simmons

The herky-jerky narrative structure makes one suspect that this one was done in by someone's misguided editing room tinkering.
