Reviews

Philadelphia Inquirer - Steven Rea
The film, in its early going, also has a nice light humor about it, and an engaging, albeit tragic, love story.
60
The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps
Machine makes its look-to-the-future-not-the-past message as clear as a Grammy acceptance speech, but as an exploration of regret and the elusive quality of time, it falls well short of "Memento," another film starring a sad-eyed Pearce.
60
Washington Post - Desson Thomson
Amazingly stilted before accelerating into its exciting finish.
50
San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
There's something wrong with a time-travel movie that allows an audience's interest to drift so that we have time to worry over where he's parked, and whether he remembered to take his key.
50
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
Deliberately quaint and old-fashioned, a once-over-slightly exercise in nostalgic wonder directed by the British-born great-grandson of H.G. Wells, who treats the spirit of his ancestor's novel with literal-minded fealty.
