Another "two minutes"

The one-hundred-year-old Fujiya inn stands in the quiet region of Kyoto. Mikoto is standing in front of the Kibune river at the back of the building when she is called back to work. But two minutes later, she finds herself back at the river again. The whole inn seems to be stuck in a time loop!

Besides the comedy, River feels like a more polished version of Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes (BTITM) in every aspect. It’s still humorous, but just lacks the audible laughs BTITM had. Even though they’re similar in concept, River has an entire area stuck in this time paradox — much like a Bermuda Triangle for its 96-minute run time. River is smartly written, has a fantastic cast, and is beautifully filmed. Full review: https://bit.ly/2imeloop
