This little sci-fi movie takes time loops on a new track
Briefly

Omni Loop diverges from typical time-loop narratives by presenting Zoya Lowe, who chooses to restart her week. Unlike others trapped against their will, she actively engages with her predicament, using time looping as a means of evading her mortality.
The film inhabits a surreal mix of genres, blending sci-fi, magical realism, and drama. Fantastical elements, such as Zoya's black hole and her peculiar childhood item—the time-loop pills—create a unique narrative landscape that challenges viewers’ expectations.
The source of Zoya’s pills, labeled with her name from childhood, raises unsettling questions about fate and agency. The narrative’s focus on choice transforms the time-loop from a curse into a strategy for survival.
Omni Loop pushes boundaries by merging grounded human experiences with absurdity, introducing strikingly odd characters, like the nanoscopic man, and posing profound questions about life, choice, and the mechanisms of time.
