Somewhere in Time is a film I’ve always felt like people loved. I thought it was a revered minor classic. I watched it many years ago and was a little disappointed in it, but when I got the opportunity to review this new UHD release from Kino Lorber, I figured it was time to give it another try.
Furthermore, I was still disappointed in it. Apprently, I was wrong thinking everybody else loved it because all my Letterboxd followers feel the same as me and all the reviews I’ve read find it to be mostly average.
Christopher Reeve becomes obsessed with an old painting of Jane Seymour and finds a way to travel back in time to meet her.
Reeve and Seymour look beautiful, and the idea of the story is interesting, but I never really bought into the romance. And the film didn’t seem all that interested in the time travel aspects.
