Shuffle
Lovell Milo is a man who begins experiencing his life out of order; every day he wakes up at a different age, on a different day of his life, never knowing where or when he’s going to be once he falls asleep. He’s terrified and wants it to stop - until he notices a pattern in his experience, and works to uncover why this is happening to him - and what or who is behind it.

i must have seen a different film!!
Nothing to add about the story, acting, etc. One comment i would make is that the music was a perfect match for the film.
This movie has a really clever premise in which a man is essentially living his life out of order; every time he falls asleep, he wakes up at a different, seemingly random date in his life. And while at first there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it, he eventually learns that there is a purpose, and that he needs to "pay attention." Turning the whole thing into an odd sort of mystery. It is absolutely fantastic.And then, about two thirds of the way through the movie, it all falls apart in a silly turn that reveals it to be a sort of knock off of a popular fantasy movie from the '40s. From then on, it feels pedestrian and rather maudlin.To me, this looks like a film in which the director had an imaginative premise but didn't really know what to do with it, and fell back on something very unimaginative. A number of people here have complained about the last two minutes of this movie, saying it doesn't fit in with the rest, but I'd say it fits in very well with the part of the movie I don't like, so I'm puzzled by people who like everything except the last two minutes. I wish the director showed the same consistency in his invention that he did in his brilliant short Validation, but admittedly it's much harder to do that for an entire feature.
Gosh!!!! I wish i could give this movie a 10! After seeing "Validation" short movie so many times, i was already a fan of TJ Thyne. Well, he does not disappoint in Shuffle, neither any of the other actors. The plot is clever, the photography is amazing (the B&W really works!), and time flew by as i was living the story... until the VERY END almost ruined it all! I agree with other review here... After those last minutes, i felt like i was slapped on the face, after being swept away! I did not understand the need of that last scene, as everything falls in place without it.Watch it if you can. It's a very nice piece of cinema art! P.S: Only after yesterday's episode of "Bones" i realized that Thyne is Dr. Jack Hodgins!! Maybe my head was focused because i was "getting shuffled" latter on!
"Shuffle" is one of the most profound movies I've ever seen. Kurt Kuenne can tell a story that keeps everyone involved and at the edge of their seats. I've now seen every film Mr. Kuenne has made from Validation, to the heart felt Dear Zachary and Shuffle. What a film maker and Shuffle is now on my shelf at home along side of Dear Zachary. How Shuffle hasn't made it to the big screen amazes me for this movie has to be one of the most remarkable in the past several years. Brilliant, thought provoking, sensitive, and a story that I will never forget. 10 stars to Mr. Kuenne for his movie making. I hope everyone who reads this review will give Shuffle a look at for you will not forget the film nor Mr. Kuenne.
