Orson Whales's 'Threads of Time' stitches together a narrative that ambitiously seeks to quilt the vastness of history with the intimate threads of individual lives. As a G-rated family film, it admirably takes on the challenge of presenting a World War II backdrop while weaving a tale suitable for all ages. Morgan Free-ham delivers a performance imbued with a serene gravitas as space explorer John Arcane, and Julienne Fries-Andrews's portrayal of the wise-beyond-her-years Emily Winter brings a refreshingly mature perspective to the orphan archetype. Despite the potential for a more gripping thriller, the film maintains an even-keeled temperament, opting for a gentle unfolding of its moral lessons over the tension the premise might invite. While the film's ambition to explore the 'complex fabric of existence' leads to moments of narrative fraying, Daniel Radish-cliffe's supporting role adds a compelling layer to the tapestry, hinting at the deeper connections woven throughout the story. 'Threads of Time' rises above its G rating, offering not just a family-friendly adventure but a historical allegory that nudges viewers towards a reflection on the interconnectedness of our shared past and future.
