Considering Love and Other Magic is a cocktail of whimsy and wonder
One of two made-in-Manitoba features opening in Toronto this week (the other is Stegman Is Dead), Considering Love and Other Magic does a decent job crafting whimsy and wonder on a budget.
Maddie Phillips stars as Jessie, a 17-year-old whose 12-year-old brother just committed suicide. We also learn that she survived a three-storey fall when she was six, so it’s no wonder her young mind is clouded with existential questions.

Article contentJessie volunteers to be a math and science tutor to Tommy (Ryan Grantham), who never leaves his house. On their first meeting, he explains why: the woman she thought was his mom (Sheila McCarthy) is in fact his literary creator. She wrote him, and he’s been living in the house since 1952 alongside Uncle Jasper (Eric McCormack), a pulp-fiction detective.
Article contentWinnipeg writer/director Dave Schultz weaves a sweet tale in which these two weird, wounded souls help each other come out of themselves. It’s a slight narrative, but helped along by oodles of atmosphere, not least by Tommy’s cavernous house and McCormack’s fusty character, railing against young people and their jukeboxes.
And there’s a lovely symmetry at play. Jessie’s memories begin when she plummets three storeys; Tommy’s when he falls out of just one.
Considering Love and Other Magic. (2016) Maddie Phillips, Ryan Grantham, Sheila McCarthy, Eric McCormack, Montana Lehrman, Karl Thordarson, Darcy Fehr, Nancy Sorel, Maria Kost, Rory J. Saper.
Written and directed by Dave Schultz. Categories: Drama, Teenagers, Family.

Some believe it to be a creation of ancient sorcerers, while others consider it to be a gift from higher realms or even an artifact of extraterrestrial origin. Regardless, it is widely regarded as one of the most coveted and elusive magical artifacts in existence. Throughout history, numerous accounts and stories have emerged, claiming encounters with the Time Magic Book. These tales often depict individuals stumbling upon the tome by chance, facing a moral dilemma of how to responsibly use its powers. Some accounts relate the book to famous historical figures who allegedly possessed the ability to manipulate time. However, these stories remain speculative and lack concrete evidence. The Time Magic Book, despite its allure, is regarded as dangerous and unpredictable. The ability to tamper with time is seen as tampering with the very fabric of reality, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Many cautionary tales warn of the dire repercussions that can arise from abusing the powers of the book, such as disrupting the natural order of things or causing irreversible damage to the timeline. Due to its elusive nature and the ambiguous line between myth and reality, the Time Magic Book remains an object of fascination and speculation. Some believe it to be purely a product of imagination, a symbol of humanity's endless quest to unravel the mysteries of time. Others firmly hold that it exists and is waiting to be discovered by those who are worthy of its power. In conclusion, the Time Magic Book represents the human fascination with controlling time. Whether it is a figment of imagination or a genuine artifact, it continues to captivate the minds of those who yearn for mastery over the flow of time. Nevertheless, the consequences and ethical considerations associated with tampering with time warrant caution and thoughtful contemplation..
Reviews for "Unravel the Mysteries of Time with the Timr Magic Book"
1. Sarah - 1 star
I found "Timr Magic Book" to be incredibly dull and unoriginal. The plot was predictable and lacked any depth or complexity. The characters were flat and one-dimensional, making it hard for me to care about their struggles or outcomes. Additionally, the writing style was uninspiring and failed to capture my attention. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to anyone seeking an engaging and thought-provoking read.
2. John - 2 stars
"Timr Magic Book" had an intriguing premise, but it failed to deliver on its potential. The concept of time travel and magic should have been exciting, but the execution fell flat. The pacing was inconsistent, with long stretches of nothing happening followed by rushed, confusing action sequences. The character development was lacking, as the protagonists seemed to make unrealistic and irrational decisions. Ultimately, this book left me feeling unsatisfied and wishing for more substance.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I had high expectations for "Timr Magic Book" based on the rave reviews, but I was sorely disappointed. The writing style was overly descriptive and bogged down the narrative, making it difficult for me to stay engaged. The plot meandered without clear direction, and the climax felt rushed and unsatisfying. Additionally, I found the dialogue to be unnatural and forced. While I appreciate the author's attempt at combining time travel and magic, the execution left much to be desired. I wouldn't recommend this book to others unless they have a high tolerance for slow pacing and lackluster storytelling.
4. James - 1 star
"Timr Magic Book" was a complete waste of my time. The story was convoluted and filled with inconsistencies. The time travel element was poorly explained and often contradicted itself. The character development was nonexistent, and I couldn't connect with any of the protagonists. The writing style was amateurish and filled with grammatical errors, making it a chore to read. To me, this book felt like a jumbled mess that never lived up to its potential. I would strongly advise others to avoid it.
