Time Out Reviews
Detroit News
Susan Stark
Moody, reflective and acutely noticing, Time Out is less a drama than a cinematic essay about one man's experience in an era defined for professional and laborer by downsizing.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Time Out is as serious as a pink slip. And more than that, it's an observant, unfussily poetic meditation about identity and alienation.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Time Out is existential drama without any of the pretension associated with the term.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
As bizarre as it is, Vincent's gradual estrangement from society is also easy to identify with, which makes Time Out especially compelling.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Human Resources was a good, straightforward tale, but Time Out is better. It's haunting. It's like a poem.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I admire the closing scenes of the film, which seem to ask whether our civilization offers a cure for Vincent's complaint.
Boston Globe
Leighton Walter Kille
A taut psychological thriller that doesn't waste a moment of its two-hour running time.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
A sad, visually stunning commentary on life in the new economy, Time Out does two things very well.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Cantet beautifully illuminates what it means sometimes to be inside looking out, and at other times outside looking in.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Writer-director Cantet, the filmmaker responsible for the similarly provocative Human Resources, has an extremely arid sensibility.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Time Out is not just an especially subtle and thoughtful psychological drama, it's a provocative, even an unnerving one as well.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
In its treatment of the dehumanizing and ego-destroying process of unemployment, Time Out offers an exploration that is more accurate than anything I have seen in an American film.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Time Out is stylish and hushed, at once suspenseful and melancholy. It can't be neatly fitted into a genre, just as its hero--played with devastating understatement by Recoing--can't be easily dismissed as a psycho or a villain.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The drama discloses almost nothing.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
What a modern horror story!
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Cantet is singularly skilled at evoking the universal condition of such tragic ordinariness.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Perhaps we should treasure Time Out for what it is, and preserve it just in case there will not be many movies like it in the future.
