Plot hole: If Richard never reveals to Elise he is from the future, how then does the old Elise know where and when to find Richard to give the watch to and create a time loop?

Suggested correction: I agree this is not explicitly explained in the film. But because Elise was an actress, it's not a stretch to imagine that she would still follow the theater news, see the announcement of Richard's new hit play in 1972, recognize him, and go to the premier party to give him the watch.

Richard Collier: I owe you an apology. I understand you now. You have nothing but the best motives in mind for her, but so do I.

Question: When Richard accidentally pulls a coin out of his coat pocket, he sees that it's a penny and he is sent back to his own time. After being weakened upon his trip back to the future, why, after what was likely several days to get his full strength back, wasn't he able to return to the past? His mentor told him returning to his own time would leave him weakened but, given enough time to get it back, he could have gone back to the past again.

Answer: He was no longer able to put everything out of his mind, which was a requirement to successfully time-travel. He was distraught and unable to focus enough mentally. He stopped eating, and as time went on he became weaker and weaker.
