Critics Consensus

Armageddon Time finds writer-director James Gray excavating his own past and returning with a well-acted drama refreshingly free of nostalgia.

Audience Consensus

Anthony Hopkins and the rest of the cast are great, but Armageddon Time's story is slow and the ending is a major letdown.

SLED

Well, I got a bit bored watching it. It reminded me more of the 70's not the 80's. We didn't have big, loud cars. They got much more smaller in the 80's. And the clothes did not look like that either. About the only thing I felt was correct was Reagan was president. I guess the east coast was much more different than the west coast was during that time. I was in my 20's so maybe that's why I felt it didn't reflect the 80's as I remember it

The grandfather tells the boy to be a mensch, tell the truth and protect those in need. He doesn't, his privilege protects him.

Scott Tobias

The Reveal (Substack)

Armageddon Time is the rare case where the bitterness overwhelms sweetness, and true enlightenment comes from rejecting nostalgia at every turn.

Rated: 4/5

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

Preteen drama is amplified by robust and fairly obvious musical choices, but more interesting is the sound design: the city is everywhere, grumbling and fractious, the sound of a short fuse burning out.

Rated: 4/5

Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

Gray’s latest, Armageddon Time, is a flawed work. But it sees the filmmaker at his most vulnerable, as he twists the camera back on himself and asks: of all the paths that brought me here, how many were carved out by my own privilege?

Rated: 3/5

EscribiendoCine

The connection between the past and the tumultuous contemporary times becomes undeniable, adding layers of meaning and demonstrating the director's ability to capture relevance in the essence of the past. [Full review in Spanish]

I love this directors work and found the movie to be full of fantastic ideas & a slice of life film for touching on relationships of the youth. I just wish they would have doubled down on each one a bit more

Battleship Pretension

Gray appears to be making a big show of how bad he feels only so he can make a similarly big spectacle out of forgiving himself.
