The Map of Tiny Perfect Things

Great watch, would watch again, and do recommend. After seeing "Palm Springs" and "Happy Death Day(s)" take such silly (and murderous) approaches to a time loop it is sort of relieving to see a sweet sort of more serious love story. I really liked that they took the introspective aspect of a time loop story and pointed out into the world, exploring what it is that makes their town and trying to find the "perfect" moments of their day. We'd be lucky to get to experience these sort of moments once a day, but the ridiculous level that they run this to is great, and it is funny without being silly. If you like the concept of a time loop, and/or a good, if potentially heavy, love story, then definitely give this a shot.

**This idea has been repeated in many films, but it remains my favorite genre** The story of the film is about a young man named Mark who lives his life like the movies that tell about the repetition of one day until 12 o'clock in the morning, the same day comes again with the same events. The film explains about Mark's dealings with the situations that are repeated on this day, helping people to avoid exposure to bad situations that they may be exposed to. The film did not discuss the details of why it was exposed, why this particular day is repeated, because the idea of the film was repeated in many other similar films, which are almost countless because of its abundance, so the director decided to enter into the idea of the film directly. After living countless days in this way, Mark encounters a young woman named Margaret who has the same phenomenon, which is a phenomenon that is repeated today, so he admires her and they live a love story between them. Mark and Margaret decide to take advantage of this day to get the perfect moments that guarantee them happiness on this day and that give them positive energy and make them happy on this repeated day. The movie, in my opinion, is wonderful and this is my favorite genre, despite the repetition of the movie's story in many other similar films. The only negative thing about the movie is the pace of the movie was slow. The events were slow, and the director should have used the idea of the film to build events that attract audiences, such as making more comedic scenes or creating more exciting side stories. The romantic scenes were wonderful, especially the scene of Mark giving a NASA helmet gift to Margaret. Their relationship was not very close because of Margaret's fear of losing her sick mother. 8/10
