Palm Springs

Palm Springs (2020) is a sci-fi romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM — and one of the sharper time-loop films the genre has produced. Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti are stuck repeating the same November 9th at a California wedding, waking up every morning with the desert sun and zero consequences.

Director Max Barbakow is not retelling Groundhog Day. Nyles has been in the loop long enough to stop caring about anything; Sarah arrives and immediately starts looking for a way out. Their dynamic is less rom-com formula and more a genuine argument about whether freedom from consequences makes life better or just emptier. J.K. Simmons plays a third looper who wanders in and out with the energy of a man who has made a completely different peace with the situation.

Produced by the Lonely Island company and released on Hulu in 2020, it broke the platform's day-one viewership record at the time. Stream Palm Springs online on iFILM.
