Safety Not Guaranteed

This is a quirky little independent film concerning a (possibly) mad inventor who is building a time machine to travel into the recent past.

I want you to see this movie. I want you to see it, and then I want you to look me in the eye, and tell me that you agree with me that it is a much better movie than Back to the Future.

If you can say that, I will be inclined to take your further recommendations for movies. If not, I probably won't.

Good review; thanks. To one point I have a comment: the movie gets to evade the question of whether Kenneth is actually mentally ill because "mentally ill" is not really a very useful binary category, especially for edge cases.

Re-reading your post, I like the idea that Kenneth is a variation on the trope of the mad scientist. Yep.
