Stephen Saito As an actress, writer and director, Alice Lowe has never much cared if you like the characters she’s penned for herself. From the tourist who develops a taste for murder on her road trip with her boyfriend in Ben Wheatley’s “Sightseers” to a mother-to-be whose baby inspires far more violence than just kicking around in her belly in her own directorial debut, “Prevenge,” Lowe has sacrificed audience approval for the license to explore darker corners of the female experience.
However, that might make Agnes the most deliciously miserable of her creations, as someone in desperate need of love, commencing a grimly amusing search for the perfect partner across centuries in “Timestalker.” If comedy is tragedy plus time, there is plenty of it in Lowe’s latest film. Starting in Scotland in the late 1600s, Agnes can’t escape her attraction to the wrong guy (Aneurin Barnard) and is tripped up again and again as reincarnated versions of herself can’t help but make the same mistake.
She probably should know better when a meet-cute with the man of her dreams occurs right before he’s bound to be executed as a heretic. Although the crowd assembled may want to avert their eyes, Agnes locks hers with Barnard’s bad boy on his way to the gallows and finds an instant connection.
Instantly smitten, she tries to rush the stage to prevent his death, accidentally causing her own in the process. The whole notion of soulmates becomes a form of torture in “Timestalker” when it leads Agnes to die nearly a dozen times, all in gruesome fashion, in pursuit of Barnard’s wandering stranger.
