HBO Max — March 1
Karbo Vantas Entertainment
In this incredible Spanish sci-fi thriller, a man accidentally finds himself in a time loop, investigating a crime that seems impossible. Director Nacho Vigalondo directed the criminally underrated 2016 film Colossal, but Timecrimes remains his best work to date. Don’t miss it on HBO Max.
