On the eve of World War Two, a couple of British women invent a machine that can show them the future. They like what they see there, especially David Bowie and Bob Dylan, but when they start using the machine to help Britain win the war, there are consequences. It's a found-footage movie, the footage supposedly scraps of film shot around 1940, and the film is the key to the story. It's brilliantly worked out and executed, right up to the revealing final shot, and, trust me, if you make it through the rest of the movie, you don't want to miss that shot.
