Modern relationships are complicated enough as is. But when the unpredictable element of time travel is added to the equation, your problems will look mild by comparison.

That’s the premise of The Time Traveler’s Wife, a 2003 sci-fi romance bestseller by novelist Audrey Niffenegger that was adapted into a 2009 film starring Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams.

Highlighting how short our lives are, the story revolves around Chicago librarian Henry DeTamble, an adventurous man whose rare genetic disorder makes him randomly hop through the timestream. When he meets his soulmate in artist Clare Abshire, the two must navigate the disruptions caused by his temporal absences.

Rose Leslie plays Claire, who might regret not just using Tinder.
