FREQUENCIES- 2014. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “OXV: THE MANUAL is being billed as the world’s first Scientific-Philosophical romance. Boy meets girl in a not-quite-here, not-quite-now world where one simple discovery has forever changed all human interaction. The film could perhaps best be described as a combination of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” “(500) Days of Summer,” and “Primer.”
5/23/14- I’ve seen just a few professional reviews and they are all very good. Audiences have liked it very much as well. TRDB.
