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 Says

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

4/5

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

4/5

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.

3/5

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?

3/5

As a snapshot, though, Armageddon Time vividly evokes a young man’s sobering, bittersweet realization that [the] world is always bifurcated into the virtuous and the venal.

4/5

James Gray’s autobiographical coming-of-age drama contains a fierce, unsentimental performance from Banks Repeta - and a marvellous 80s New York atmosphere.

Hopkins gives a very winning performance as the grandfather we all wish we had, in this sometimes meandering film.

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.
