The Map of Tiny Perfect Things (2021)
It's a time loop movie.
This time, we're hanging out with Mark who is livin' loop life: grabbing a mug before it crashes to the floor, stopping a man from taking a step that would result in a dollop of bird crap on his head, etc. But then then there's a surprise girl walking through his scripted life and they, of course, start spending time together. At this point I was like "alright. fine. but why? this doesn't do anything new."
But then the story shifted focus a bit. Mark realizes that it's not a romance with him as the hero, it's Margaret's story. This is the something new required to justify the film's existence. I mean, I can think of three loop movies off the top of my head that are better, but this isn't bad.
