A rollicking, risk-taking and deftly funny subversion of fairytale romance, Timestalker shows off Lowe’s admirable ambition

| Jan 1, 2025

Timestalker is a demented romp through romance with a sense of humor so sharp that of course there's gushing blood.

Picture Sally Potter鈥檚 Orlando repurposed as a Blackadder special.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 25, 2024

It鈥檚 a fun premise, but Lowe鈥檚 follow-up to her deliciously nasty 2016 debut, Prevenge, is disappointingly underpowered and slapdash.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2024

As arcane and silly as it is quietly moving, the film ricochets madly across multiple timeframes...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 14, 2024

Lowe lets all these ideas brew in a frothy, funny, pastel-tinged concoction.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 11, 2024

Timestalker feels like a scratchy outline for a film that Lowe didn鈥檛 get round to making. Never mind, there鈥檚 always the next life.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 11, 2024

It is distinctively and unmistakably un film de Alice Lowe.

| Oct 11, 2024

The throwaway gags and throwaway ideas reminded me pleasantly of the Peter Cook/Dudley Moore comedy Bedazzled from 1967. Lowe鈥檚 comedy has bite.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 10, 2024

Unlike the grounded Sightseers, this film has no real life, no shareable feeling: the subversion and deflation seem pointless, never funny. Why spoof a spoof?

| Oct 10, 2024

Timestalker lacks a little humour and insight into obsessive love to make it truly sing, but it鈥檚 an admirably ambitious fable that could be destined to become a cult oddity.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2024

Through some ingenious production design and costuming, Timestalker creates a time-hopping menagerie of madness, with Lowe centre stage and always game.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 8, 2024

A deliciously offbeat paranormal comedy that invites repeat viewings. The more you come back to it, the more details you'll spot.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 7, 2024

Timestalker is above all else distinctly Loweian, and consolidates the filmmakers place as one of the most dazzling and exciting British filmmakers working in the indie genre space today

If comedy is tragedy plus time, there is plenty of it in Lowe’s latest film.

It鈥檚 moving in the most insidious way... But also very funny.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 9, 2024

You鈥檝e heard this story before, but you鈥檝e never seen it quite like this.

| Original Score: B | Mar 9, 2024
