The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 18 times at 4 cinemas across 4 districts, from HK$90 to HK$130 depending on cinema and time. The cheapest seat is at GALA CINEMA (Langham Place) in Mong Kok, HK$90. Category IIA · 124 minutes.

What it is about

At the age of 21, Tim Lake discovers he can travel in time… But as his unusual life progresses, Tim finds out that his unique gift can’t save him from the sorrows and ups and downs that affect all families, everywhere. There are great limits to what time travel can achieve, and it can be dangerous too. About Time is a comedy about love and time travel, which discovers that, in the end, making the most of life may not need time travel at all.

What to expect

Richard Curtis co-directs this 124-minute romantic drama about a man who can revisit his past, but not fix it. The premise is a delivery mechanism for the stuff Curtis has always been interested in — awkward family dinners, private grief, the way ordinary days harden into memory before you notice. Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams carry the central relationship with an ease that keeps the sentimentality in check, though the movie is unhurried and leans into melancholy more than its logline suggests. Rated IIA. Playing at two cinemas across two districts this week, with Chinese subtitles and tickets from HK$110. No premium-format screenings are listed, and at this scale a standard auditorium suits the material.
