Short description

A taxi driver named Harris picks up a passenger named Penny for a trip along a quiet road. After a period of flirtatious conversation, Penny suddenly disappears from the vehicle. When Harris resets his meter, he finds himself transported back to the moment Penny first entered the car. The two strangers become trapped in a repeating time loop, forced to experience the same journey over and over, which eventually leads them to share personal truths and alters Harris's life.

This 2018 American production was directed by D.C. Hamilton, who also served as a producer. The screenplay was written by Brinna Kelly, who acted in the film as Penny and shared producing duties with Hamilton and Gino Anthony Pesi. Pesi also took on the lead role of Harris, supported by a cast that includes Jason Stuart, Jon Jacobs, Matt Fontana, and Sarah Moore.

The film has received a generally positive reception from those who rated it. On IMDb, it holds a score of 6.3 based on 4,200 votes, while on TMDB it has a rating of 6.4 from 121 votes. Film critics provided a higher evaluation, giving the movie an 8.4 based on 6 reviews.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The original title translates to "Farewell".
  • No one was ever found for the role of the dispatcher, even after filming had already finished and the film was being edited. Producer David Middel performed the role. Towards the end of post-production, Jason Stewart was found for the role and recorded all his lines in just three hours.
  • The entire film was shot in 6 days, and all the scenes inside the taxi were filmed using projection in a studio. All outdoor scenes were filmed in Pasadena and Palmdale, California.
  • The vintage taxi shown in the film was not in the best condition, and often refused to start when it needed to be filmed. On the last day of outdoor shooting, the crew struggled for 15 minutes, but the car finally started, and after that the engine was not turned off all day. Fortunately, there was enough fuel in the tanks without needing to refuel.
