Ayo Edebiri, known for her role in “The Bear,” has again captured audiences’ hearts, this time with her latest project, “Omni Loop.” Directed by Bernardo Britto, the sci-fi drama has made an impressive debut with a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
“Omni Loop” follows the journey of a woman from Miami who embarks on a mission to solve time travel, driven by her desire to rewrite her past and become the person she always aspired to be. Fresh off the success of last year’s comedy “Bottoms,” Edebiri shines alongside a talented cast including Chris Witaske, Carlos Jacott, Eddie Cahill, and Mary-Louise Parker.
Premiering at SXSW on March 13, “Omni Loop” has garnered praise from critics for its grounded storytelling and the compelling chemistry between Edebiri and Parker.

Variety describes “Omni Loop” as a film that encourages viewers to reflect on the intricacies of human relationships and the choices that shape our lives. Meanwhile, The Austin Chronicle praises the movie’s ability to tug at the heartstrings while offering a life-affirming narrative.
IndieWire notes that while “Omni Loop” successfully integrates science fiction elements into everyday life, some critics feel that the film could benefit from a stronger sci-fi presence. However, Collider celebrates the movie as a poignant exploration of life’s unexpected gifts, leaving audiences longing for more.
Despite not having a release date yet, “Omni Loop” has already significantly impacted both critics and audiences alike. As fans eagerly await its arrival, they can enjoy “The Bear” seasons one and two on Disney+, with the third season slated for release this June.
With “Omni Loop,” Ayo Edebiri continues to solidify her status as a rising star in Hollywood, captivating audiences with her talent and versatility. As the anticipation for the film grows, it’s clear that Edebiri’s journey is only just beginning, and audiences can’t wait to see where it takes her next.
