Is Still Time 2023 Movie Good?

Still time lets viewers experience the shock and confusion with Dante as he wakes up again and again in a new year. He’s a hilarious, loveable character who responds to these bizarre changes like anyone would. Alice’s pregnancy confuses him as he thinks she has a swollen tummy and gets scared when he feels the baby move.

Dante’s comical moments continue as he leaps forward and realizes he has a daughter, whom he keeps mistaking for a son. Constantly jumping through time, he has no idea what to do with his adolescent daughter. He even forgets that she exists at times, which would be awful in any other scenario. But in this film, his utter confusion is hysterical.

As funny as the movie is, it also sends us a compelling message to step back. The feeling that Dante is passing time exists because he never stops or takes a break. While some of his confusions are funny, there are emotional aspects that work well too. Dante forgets that he and Alice are in couples therapy. Alice teases him because he is never with his daughter and prefers work to his family. We see the pain and frustration Dante feels at not remembering those mistakes.

Still time is both heartfelt and heartbreaking and teaches us that life is short so we must appreciate what we have.
