I'll Follow You Down

I watched another film yesterday, the time-travel movie from 2012 I'll Follow You Down. Unlike many stories in this genre, the time travel wasn't the point of the movie. The struggle between one's devotion to family and his/her life work was played out in three relationships, between the inventor of time travel and his wife (Skully of the X-Files), between her son (Haley Joel Osment, the star of my favorite film, The Sixth Sense) and his fiancee, and between the time traveler and his father. It held little in the way of surprises, one predictable episode following another, until a nice twist at the end elevated it a bit in my eyes. I wouldn't call it a waste of time, which in my jargon is a modicum of praise.
