Spoilers think all time machines should have wheels.

The idea of a multiverse is a concept that has gone mainstream for some time now. It became even more popular thanks to the entire comic-book-adaptation genre. Now we’re just going to apply it on its own as its use – or misuse – inspires a whole revenge feature film. This one’s going to get dirty and desperate as there is no magical force coming to the rescue.

Redux Redux (2025) is written and directed by Kevin and Matthew McManus. Irene Kelly (Michaela McManus) is out for vengeance… again. She’s been tracking down the serial killer responsible for her daughter’s death, a fry cook named Neville (Jeremy Holm). She’s already found him and kill him. But it doesn’t end there. Apparently Irene is using a contraption capable of traveling through alternate dimensions. In each one, her daughter is dead. In each one, she finds and kills her murderer. She’s already done so way too many times and it’s taking a toll on her.

The familiar revenge genre has a new angle, as Irene has not been letting up traveling through each universe to find the serial killer again and again. Differences appear from time to time, forcing her hand to kill him sometimes in unexpected scenarios. She’s often on the run from the police. She sometimes befriends Jonathan (Jim Cummings). And things really seem to take a turn when she runs into young runaway Mia (Stella Marcus). But I will let you discover all that. It’s worth it.

Highly recommended with very minor reservations for fans of time loops and alternate worlds. Unlike other films that focus purely on action or the drama of grief, this film balances both subjects without any tone dissonance. Michaela McManus’ performance gives the appropriate gravitas to her depiction of a woman who has lost it all, both vulnerable and unbelievably strong at the same time. Very much worth a watch.

That will do for now.
