About Time is Richard Curtis's warm, inventive romantic drama about Tim, a young British man who discovers he can travel back in time, and uses the ability to improve his romantic life — only to discover that the greatest lessons can't be solved by do-overs. Starring Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams, the film is Richard Curtis's most emotionally resonant work since Love Actually.
