The DVD cover said the movie was rated PG-13 for "brief language", but then the DVD itself said the movie was rated R for the same reason, but if there was any "language" it was so "brief" that I didn't notice it. There's a lot of crosstalk in that movie.
Oh, at one point I paused the DVD and used the zoom feature to get a closer look at a detail. Then I forgot I'd done that and watched the rest of the movie in a zoomed state, never noticing that about 1/4 of the screen space was missing until the end when the credits were chopped off. It's got that kind of cinematography.

You can tell that this is one of those weeks when we borrow a bunch of movies from the library. I watched Primer by myself because Sumana doubted she would like it. I think she probably wouldn't have liked it. The plot is insanely complicated, which I found refreshing, but there's just one plot and on an emotional level it's pretty simple. There were enough technical twists to keep me interested, but I can see how someone else would just give up.
