Time Cut is Netflix's newest 'what will go viral on TikTok?' film. It's repetitive, unoriginal, and Gen-Z. It's not good. The film follows Lucy, the younger sister of Summer, who was murdered in 2003 with the rest of her friends by a serial killer known as The Sweetly Slasher. Lucy never knew her sister as she was born several years after Summer was murdered. Her parents still mourn the death of their eldest daughter and don't pay much mind to Lucy. Lucy finds a time machine and accidentally travels back to 2003 where she meets Quinn, a nerd-type who went to school with Summer. Lucy spends a lot of time trying to get back to 2023, but when she befriends her sister, she decides she has to save Summer, even if it means she won't exist anymore. The acting in this is what you would expect out of a Disney Channel Show. The directing might as well be non-present. The writing is painful and not nearly 2003 enough. And everything else is just so mid. The only saving grace is the nostalgia from hearing early 2000s classics throughout the film, making up the soundtrack. Besides that, I'd avoid this one if you don't feel like wasting your time.

Thanks for Sitting on the Sidelines!
