'Aporia' premiered at Fantasia Fest before heading to theaters next month.
This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.Offering a unique science fiction twist on a familiar story, Aporia is a complex emotional drama that uses the lens of time travel to explore interpersonal relationships and moral quandaries about what it means to exist.
Judy Greer is a standout among the cast starring in the lead role as Sophie Rice, a woman who lost her husband to a drunk driver and is willing to do anything to get him back. A tremendous amount of the emotional depth of Aporia rests on Greer's shoulders as she showcases her range from feelings of exhaustion and depression to desperation and shame and onto euphoria and love.
Aporia’s biggest drawback is that it is, for the most part, rather boring. Much of the first half of the film simply runs its characters through the motions of the aftermath of a loss without giving the audience a deeper connection to them or a strong motivation to root for them to use the machine and take the life of the person who caused their pain. The pacing drags through the beginning of the film and into the middle, in what would be a decent slow burn with a stronger script.
