Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Aporia needn’t stay one step ahead of smart viewers to keep us intrigued and off-balance, glued to how these flawed, well-intentioned characters use their irrevocable power and face the consequences. Aug 14, 2023 Full Review Josh Kupecki Austin Chronicle It’s a film that considers that life may be less about what you have or can get, and more about what you are willing to give up. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times A deeply silly time-travel weepie buoyed solely by the soapy warmth of its performances. Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Steve Morrissey Radio Times A sci-fi movie for people who don't usually like the genre and prefer their dramas to be full of well-drawn, relatable human beings. And on those terms, it really works. Rated: 3/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Taylor Baker Drink in the Movies Aporia is unnotable, it has little to say, and less to do. Its characters are unremarkable as are its consequences, which is a real pity for what is quite a nifty premise Rated: 35/100 Nov 19, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Swallowing this development doesn’t take a suspension of disbelief -- it requires a complete severing with both an ax and a chainsaw. But those who can get past the mental hemorrhaging will be treated to a thoughtful and even startling drama. Rated: 3/4 Sep 16, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Cara 2nd time seeing it, first review. Great concept, certainly gives the viewer plenty to consider where morality is concerned. Acting was very good and Judy Greer was superb in her role. Highly recommend. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/16/23 Full Review AURAL F This movie has a definitive existential aspect to it. If we created a device to transcend time, should we actually use it? If we choose to do so, what is the detriments that could arise from it? For there is no doubt of a cause and effect. Does the evitable effect outweigh the initial cause? We all want to change the world in some way but, should what is and was, be just that? I just want to add, yes there are some holes and there is the mellow drama but, it still asks those hypotheticals. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/24 Full Review Pasquale u I enjoyed it. Some choices could have been made once they knew the concept of who stayed in became the observers would have saved their main problem. The ending left me annoyed. Overall a good watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Akhand T Waw.... Awesome feeling good afternoon watching this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review PARWEZ A A deeply silly time-travel weepie buoyed solely by the soapy warmth of its performances Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Ahsan A Super movie Super movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
