Review: This strange, almost hypnotic design is simple, but effective when full knowledge of the film’s premise is taken into account.

Review: (#1) The trailer is thankfully not confusing. It does seem to lack a sense of direction, but the concept is solid and there’s enough here to offer fans of the source material, as well as potential new fans to be interested.

(#2) There isn’t much to the mystery in this second trailer, there’s also a severe glossing-over of the mistakes the protagonist has committed that lead to her repetitive Groundhog Day situation. Removing that tension and attempt to make things right diminishes the impact of the film’s theme.
