A familiar sub-genre of time travel movies often involves characters traveling into the past to reconnect with a deceased loved one. In the film 'The Greatest Hits,' writer and director Ned Benson puts a musical spin on this concept. The story follows Harriet, who was involved in a fatal car crash that claimed the life of her boyfriend, Max, two years prior. Harriet finds solace in listening to music they shared, which transports her back to their shared memories.
Harriet's nightly ritual involves listening to LPs in search of a way to alter the past and save Max. The film skillfully combines elements of time travel, grief, and music, with a soundtrack featuring contemporary pop hits. The performances by the cast are solid, although the chemistry between characters is inconsistent.
