A lot like Groundhog Day, but simultaneously on a larger and smaller scale (much longer replays, but much fewer). I thought he did a good job of making the main character actually do things you might do if you got to relive your life.

It takes itself too seriously at parts, but I also see it as a meditation on how to live your life. You could die at any moment. When you’re gone, you’re gone; living forever would be torture. An unpredictable future is actually a gift, if you consider the alternative.
