Karl Quinn The Age (Australia) Aug 21, 2018
This yarn - based on sci-fi legend Robert Heinlein's short story All You Zombies - is never less than intriguing, even if it does threaten to unravel at the slightest tug on a thread of loose logic. Go to Full Review Jonathan Romney Observer (UK) Feb 22, 2015
4/5
The film leaps into a dizzy abyss of temporal paradoxes, made all the dizzier by its transgender premise - a modern Tiresias myth plaited into a Möbius strip. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide The Times (UK) Feb 20, 2015

Robert P @Superbad 5 days ago Predestination is a *4* star Movie! See more Hari S @RT29154151 Sep 26, 2026 Sarah Snook’s acting was absolutely amazing. The BGM and the cinematography were some of the best things about this movie. The way the past was revealed, along with that background narration, kept me completely hooked. The rain scene, the love scene, and the BGM were absolutely top-notch. And that final ending… 🤯 Thank you to the whole team for making such an incredible movie. ❤️ See more Colt A @RT26305232 Sep 3, 2026 First time watching in 2026, can't believe I missed this film.
