Oh, splendid! 'Once Upon A Timepiece': a film where 'the past is just a tick away,' and, apparently, so is the point. With Martin Shean's relentless sarcasm and Anchovy Quinn's eccentricity, which might be code for overacting, this documentary, if we can still call fantasy-fused escapades that, traipses through pseudo-history narrated by Alejandro González Iguanarritu's so-called 'visionary' direction. Let's not overlook Eagle Waters, who does his level best impersonating a wisdom-spouting statue with a badge. This G-rated bonanza ensures not a single adult brain cell is harmed (or engaged) during its enchanting runtime. Seeing history and heroes mashed into a whimsical detective setting is like watching a centaur trying to solve a Rubik's Cube: bizarrely captivating, but ultimately, what's the point? Kudos for trying to wrap our heads around a time-twisting narrative quicker than the hands on a clock, sprucing up dusty tales of Nordic lore with modern cinematic glitter. Enjoy this 6.5-rated cinematic wonder with your family – after all, nothing says 'bonding time' like shared confusion over a plot that's as elusive as the concept of time itself.
