TiMER

2009 · 100 min

A gentle, bittersweet romantic comedy that uses a sci-fi gimmick to ask warm, relatable questions about love and timing.

Tagline: You can't hurry love.
Overview: When implanted in a person's wrist, a TiMER counts down to the day the wearer finds true love. But Oona O'Leary faces the rare dilemma of a blank TiMER. Her soul mate - whoever and wherever he is - has yet to have a TiMER implanted. Staring down the barrel of thirty and tired of waiting for her would-be life partner to get off the dime, Oona breaks her own rules and falls for Mikey, a charming and inappropriately young supermarket clerk with a countdown of four months.
How it feels: Whimsical, romantic, melancholic and light. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Love, fate, identity, loneliness
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
