“I wouldn't change one second of our life together.”
Time travel, romance and Rachel McAdams, it can hardly go wrong. It doesn't work either, because The Time Traveler's Wife is an original, dramatic yet also funny and sugary sweet film that continues to captivate because of the actors and the occasionally brilliant cinematography. The beginning is strange and a bit messy but once McAdams appears in the story it gets a lot better.
McAdams and Bana have a wonderful chemistry and the love between Henry and Clare is at the heart of the film. Also nice are Henry's trips to a young Clare and those scenes on that meadow field look great. Fortunately, the viewer is taken seriously and the dramatic twist is not brought as a surprise, but more as a given. It was clear to everyone how Henry would fare and luckily director Schwentke doesn't make it a big mystery. The emphasis is on romance rather than time travel and that works great. And well, Rachel McAdams... A beautiful lady and an excellent actress. I'm a fan!

"Could we pretend just for a minute that this is the first time we've met?"
A film with good and bad moments that balance each other well. When it comes to time travel and the interaction between characters, don't think too much. The writers and Schwentke drop quite a few stitches there. Fortunately, the romantic story is not very cliché and therefore does not get bogged down about sentimental moments. It's all pretty understated. Time travel can be a bit confusing, as Bana looks pretty much the same at all ages. But as the film progresses you get used to it and don't pay attention to it anymore. This is mainly due to the good play of Bana and McAdams. Furthermore, there are some beautiful pictures and the music is quite nice, without being intrusive anywhere. You can see the end of the film coming from quite a distance, but it fits perfectly into the film.
Enjoyable film with a very nice atmosphere.

Exactly seven years after the last viewing, I'm a little less enthusiastic about this: the two protagonists are very beautiful and their chemistry is almost tangible, but the setup doesn't sit well with me. I keep feeling all the time that Henry's bizarre anomaly was really only created so that the filmmakers could throw a stick between the romantic wheels from time to time, as it were "to delay the act a bit". So that has nothing to do with psychology or realism, all the more with the artificial manipulation of a puppeteer, and as a spectator I actually just feel cheated.
Ms. Thornhill always wonders why pregnant bellies always look so fake in movies ("why can't they get that right?"), but that normally doesn't bother me. That Rachel McAdams balloon in the bathtub, however, makes even me frown: what a crooked back Clare must make to make such an island stick out above water...
