The loopholes in the time travel plot of Looper were irritating. You can give me all the filmic references you want (they range geekily from North by Northwest to Terminator), and solid performances (we have the usual saga of accomplished actors battling a loose script and poorly paced editing) but if I don’t believe in your world then, sadly, you’ve lost me.
I’m also wondering why the “rain maker” wasn’t set up properly – and sooner. Any thoughts?

I am a Pakistani woman and filmmaker who grew up in London. I write and direct stories, both documentary and fiction, about the impact of violence on our lives; I am moved to understand characters and places that witness and survive violation and betrayal. I go against the grain of stories about a “clash of civilisations”, and explore our world as I see it: full of grey areas and nuance. I also blog and write about cultural difference and shopping (!).
