Leave your thoughts about The Infinite Man.
| FILMINK (Australia)Sarah WardFew films are as fun, funny, insightful, or astute with a familiar concept, as The Infinite Man pleasingly creates a new future for time travel flicks. |
| QuickflixRichard HaridyThis is nothing less than one of my favourite Australian pictures in quite some time |
| sbs.com.auRussell EdwardsUnafraid of its low budget limitations, The Infinite Man makes splendid use of its three-person cast, revels in its minimalist location and yet never feels constrained. |
| Concrete PlaygroundTom CliftWhat The Infinite Man lacks in size it makes up for in brains and heart...the rare sort of film that feels invigorated, rather than hamstrung, by its obvious financial constraints. |
| The SkinnyJosh Slater-WilliamsWriter-director Hugh Sullivan's smart and sensitive feature debut deserves special credit for hinging its conceit on successful emotional beats, never letting its structural ambition get in the way of its fun character arcs and some terrific laughs. |
| Film ThrillsDeirdre CrimminsOne of the best time travel films I have ever seen. |
| The Sunday AgeCraig MathiesonHugh Sullivan's terrific Australian time-travel comedy is an inventive and dryly hilarious depiction of how the obsession with perfection can only lead to defeat. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniGreat fun will be had by audiences, past and future. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakI can't wait to revisit the sci-fi and work my way through what at first blush appears foolproof. |
| Alternative LensJennifer HeatonA good example of how to make a high-concept film on a dirt-cheap budget. |
