A Woman Is Kidnapped Into a Time Loop in the Surprisingly Thoughtful ShortreStart

Out for a solo stroll alongside a gorgeous coastline , a cleaning lady hesitate to take in the view at a lighthouse when she ’s abruptly writhe into the back of a car . Her ordeal have even worse when she clear she ’s been nobble into a clip - travel experiment that she ca n’t get by from — or can she ?

Olga Osorio ’s reStart convey some unusual element to its Groundhog Day tale ; notably , the clifftop scope offers a sensational demarcation to the dark bunker where the kidnap dupe is lay away between her sentence - grummet jaunts . The film does n’t waste any of its brief running time trying to explain how her captors are sending her back in metre , but that ’s not really important . rather , reStart becomes more about the genial effects of always reliving the same moment over and over , and charting the present moment that the instinct to survive morphs into something much darker .
