The latest from writer/director Alice Lowe (Prevenge), TIMESTALKER is a bawdy, reincarnation (anti) rom-com that follows its hapless heroine Agnes (Lowe) through time as she repeatedly falls for the same wrong guy (Bernard), dies a grim death, gets reincarnated a century or so later later… and then starts the cycle anew. Agnes’ only hope in avoiding this violent fate is by finally reaching spiritual enlightenment; but how can she ever wise up when she’s destined to be a fool for love? Some lessons are just too hard to learn in one lifetime.

“A rollicking, risk-taking and deftly funny subversion of fairytale romance, TIMESTALKER shows off Lowe’s admirable ambition… Hidden under the film’s willful theatricality and dark laughs, there’s a bittersweet layer of regret for the centuries of lost time women have devoted to the fantasy of eternal love. Lowe makes sharp points here as well as good jokes, recognizing how chasing ‘soulmate’ romance warps women’s expectations of men till they’ll settle for ‘someone with his own teeth and a driving license’.” – Kate Stables, Sight and Sound

“Picture Sally Potter’s Orlando repurposed as a Blackadder special.” – Tara Brady, Irish Times
