a time travel love story; aka scripts I wish I'd written
"It's that time, and that place, and that song. And you remember what it was like when you were in that place, and then you listen to that song and you know you're not in that place any more. And it'll make you feel hollow. You can’t just go find that stuff again." - Safety Not Guaranteed
This is such a beautiful little film. It's all offbeat humour and heartache, a really great soundtrack, plus Jake Johnson drunk crying and bumper car driving. I've loved Aubrey Plaza ever since I read somewhere that Rumours is her desert island album, and the love story that sort of accidentally captures her character, Darius, and the aspiring time-traveller, Kenneth, (played most endearingly by Mark Duplass), is sweet and believable. At last, an unsinkable ship, and one to root for.
