Not only does he discover that Alice is pregnant... He feels time is passing too quickly and he starts forgetting some of the most important moments of his life.
Still Time is an Italian romantic dramedy that uses a light time-skip/memory-loss conceit to explore midlife anxiety and marital love. The plot is agreeably structured around Dante's disorientation as years blur past him, giving the film a melancholic warmth that lifts it above standard rom-com fare, though the narrative mechanics are fairly familiar. Acting is solid from the leads without being especially distinguished. Cinematography is competent but unremarkable—functional Italian settings without much visual ambition. The novelty is modest but real: the emotional tone blends comedy and existential wistfulness in a way that feels reasonably distinctive for the genre, even if the time-travel device is lightweight. The ending leans into sentimentality without fully earning its emotional payoff, leaving the resolution feeling a touch conventional.
