An organic farmer named Sarah has enough on her plate without a stranger showing up claiming to be from the eighteenth century, and the movie built around that claim treats it as both a joke and a genuine question.
What is Rip in Time about?
Sarah runs a small organic farm and has settled into a life she mostly trusts, until a man insisting he arrived from the year 1787 turns up on her land. What starts as an obvious con or a delusion slowly becomes harder to dismiss, and Sarah finds herself measuring his old-fashioned manners and out-of-place instincts against the practical, modern feelings she thought she understood. The film plays the time-displacement premise for comedy as often as romance, using the mismatch between two very different senses of what courtship and commitment look like to needle at what Sarah actually wants once the novelty wears off.
About the cast
Torrey DeVitto plays Sarah, with Niall Matter as the man out of time, and Casey Manderson and Eric Keenleyside filling out the supporting cast around the farm and town. DeVitto and Matter carry the central push and pull of the story, with Manderson and Keenleyside providing the more grounded, present-day voices that keep pulling Sarah back toward her ordinary life even as she gets drawn into the stranger's claims.
Context & significance
Jessica Harmon directs the film, a Canada-United States co-production released in 2022 that runs a full two hours, longer than the format usually allows for this kind of romantic comedy. It's classified across comedy, drama, fantasy, and romance, and that spread shows in a story willing to let the fantastical premise sit alongside real questions about loneliness, trust, and what a person is willing to change for someone who doesn't fit their life.
