Movie Reviews

Monsters and Critics - 8/10 by Ron WilkinsonA riveting mystery drama about living, dying, illusion and reality.
Cinemalogue - 8/10 by Todd JorgensonDespite some powerful imagery, the film provides only minimal insight into the artistic process, and its characters aren't compelling enough to pick up the slack.
Reel Film Reviews - 8/10 by David NusairThere reaches a point... at which the film settles into a deliberately-paced yet completely watchable groove, with the emphasis on the relationship between the two men ensuring that The Time Being ultimately succeeds as a low-key drama.
The Film Stage - 7/10 by Jared MobarakThe Time Being's calculated fabrication does look gorgeous onscreen, but at the same time hinders its audience from truly engaging with the story.
AV Club - 7/10 by Mike D'AngeloAfter all the ponderous heavy breathing, it has nothing more profound to say than “artists should not neglect their families in pursuit of excellence.” Which might not ring so false if Bentley didn’t constantly look on the brink of devouring his family alive.
The Dissolve - 6/10 by Aisha HarrisThe Time Being is a visual pleasure, with Cicin-Sain unveiling shot after shot of glorious landscapes and striking silhouettes.
RogerEbert.com - 5/10 by Odie HendersonImagine the most overdone, Philip Glass-style horror movie music playing over glossy footage of a university art class, and you have some idea what your eyes and ears are in for while attending The Time Being.
amNewYork - 4/10 by Robert LevinA more apt title might have been Wes Bentley Stares at Stuff.
Village Voice - 4/10 by R.C. BakerThe characters are as leached of tone as the film's chiaroscuro sets and grisaille paintings, although Langella is certainly game.
Arizona Republic - 3/10 by Randy CordovaA brittle, pompous drama about artists and the price they pay for inspiration.
