Most of the time the YA genre is enough to set anyone's eyes rolling, but The Map Of Tiny Perfect Things is a sweet, good-natured and enjoyable film. Yes, it is the YA genre's take on Groundhog Day (and it gets the Groundhog Day/Doctor Who references out of the way pretty early), as teen Mark finds himself stuck in a time-loop with no-one else aware, until one day he comes across someone else who is aware as well... The film bounds along, held together by a charming performance by Kyle Allen in the lead role, and the film captures not only the optimistic energy of youth but also so many of those 'tiny perfect moments' referred to in the title that make this movie a surprisingly very pleasant watch indeed.
