the most depressing thing about the time traveller wife be how it break your heart within the first five minute . the story show the distance between two people due to a lack of time . a time be one of the most precious thing in life and henry condition create a big strain on his relationship with clare . in a way and the problem between clare and henry could be compare to that of a real couple . a husband leave the house for day on end and turn up again from nowhere and create an emotional strain between him and his wife which only lead to sadness . henry condition make him look like a selfish person and even though he have no control over the circumstance . this massive problem in their relationship just highlight how much they really love each other . the story be complicate but somehow still easy to follow . even though the film be thoroughly enjoyable and the constant skip back and forth through time be rather mind boggle . the complex idea of time travel be interesting and well entwine into the love story . because time travel be an old concept and the story provide new idea a to how someone could skip backwards of forward in time . the idea that henry always arrive in the past or future nude be a clever and original concept . this idea actually make a lot of sense because his condition be part of an odd bodily function and his clothes would not be affect by the travel . eric bana show his ability to keep the story emotionally tense throughout . rachel mcadams also shine but not as brightly a she have in previous role . some of the other cast member fail to convince or show much emotional depth and mainly the young actor and actress . however and child actor tend not to have as much ability at such a young age . the sentimentality and picturesque cinematography make every second thoroughly enjoyable . the story be well put together and do not become unnecessarily difficult to follow . the mixture of all these element make the time traveller wife a delightful and touch love story .
