It is really good and will absolutely break your brain trying to figure out how they did it.

Saw this one on the festival circuit last year. Totally fun, but I wish there was a companion piece showing how they did it.

I thought I did. I guess I have to go back and check. I admit during festivals with the sleep deprivation I sometimes get confused and forget stuff.

Primer + One Cut of the Dead is a pretty good way of getting the idea across, but try not to read too much into it. It isn't nearly as complex and twisty as Primer and it doesn't have the same level of pay-off that One Cut of the Dead does.
It is a delightful exploration of a really good gimmick that is kind of like a saturday morning cartoon. It is light, breezy, doesn't take itself too seriously, and delivers the goods. I watched it on my own, but I'm certain it would play best to a group. I would recommend to anyone that wants to watch a light, scifi comedy.
Not much else to say because I really don't want to spoil this movie for anyone.

The only truly unbelievable element was cable management never being an issue.

I couldn't wait and had to watch it already. I positively adored it. Just smiles the entire time.
