Map of Tiny Perfect Things, The

[Available Feb. 12 on Amazon Prime Video.] A low-key, slow-paced, quirky, sci-fi, 98-minute film based on Lev Grossman's short story and vaguely reminiscent of "Groundhog's Day" in which an artistic teenager (Kyle Allen), who lives with his wannabe writer father (Josh Hamilton) and violin-practicing sister (Cleo Fraser) and hangs out with his videogame-playing best friend (Jermaine Harris), relives the same day over and over again and then meets a charismatic blonde teenager (Kathryn Newton), whose mother (Jorja Fox) is very ill, stuck in the same time loop and together decide to make a map of the tiny, perfect things in their nondescript, small town during that one day while searching for an end to the endless time loop.
