The butterfly effect.
I saw it when I was rather young but I thought it was pretty good, apparently people thought it’s edgy.
Should watch it again now and see if it holds up.
Saw it as a teenager. Its edgy but I enjoyed watching it.
Until the prison/stigmata scene that completely broke the movies own rules. The whole fuking point is he goes back in time to change something and he is the only one who knows it. To everyone else that is just how the past has always been. But not in that scene! People actively see the world change due to him changing the past. (Oh and him mutilating himself as a kid changes nothing about his live except for the scars? He ends up in the same jailcell with the same cellmate 25 years later? Sure.) Even as a teenager i realised the gigantic plot hole.
With that scene its a 3/10 movie for me. But not because it is edgy.
