Changing the past to affect the future may not be a new concept in film, but "Frequency" handles it deftly and with heart. The acting is superb, and as far as I can tell the plot is nearly airtight. It keeps you on your toes as the story twists in what feels like six directions at once and keeps you in emotional sync with the characters. The past/present connections are stirring and intriguing, especially the single-flash cuts at pivotal moments. This is one of the few movies about which I can honestly say, "I laughed, I cried, I was scared stupid." Truly the only good movie so far this year.

Your opinion doesn't match with the star rating you give this movie. You rate it as 1 star, but say it was the best film you have seen all year. Very odd. Maybe the others you have seen are appalling. I would be happy to re-rate if you alter the inconsistences.
