Reviews

Village Voice -
Primer unites physics and metaphysics in an ingenious guerrilla reinvention of cinematic science fiction.

|
Entertainment Weekly -
Consider Primer a successful lab experiment with, as they might say in techie chat rooms, significant indie-cred applications, IMHO. Oh, and :-).
|
|
Christian Science Monitor -
The screenplay is convoluted but fascinating, flawed less by its built-in complexity than by the limitations of the characters' psychological depth.
|
|
New York Daily News -
One of those purposely head-scratching films meant to be viewed more than once. The extra ticket sales should easily cover Carruth's initial $7,000 budget.

The New York Times -
At a certain point, Mr. Carruth's fondness for complexity and indirection crosses the line between ambiguity and opacity, but I hasten to add that my bafflement is colored by admiration.
