ABOUT TIME
Director Richard Curtis
Cert. 12A
Running time: 123 minutes
Rooted in the outlook of white, well-off, middle-class, secular Britain, all Richard Curtis’s movies are eulogies to love in its various forms.
But true love only makes sense in a Christian framework (1 John 3.16). So Curtis is a man who struggles to understand life. About Time is a bitter-sweet piece which grapples with the fact that from the secular viewpoint the joy of love is trapped within the flow of time and is subject to the last enemy — death.
