Drew is approaching the end of his twenties and, with it, his relative youth. Looking to make a sudden change, he decides to quit his cushy desk job and "embrace life." Cycling quickly through friends, hobbies, and goals, it's not long until Drew realizes he has no idea what to do with his newfound freedom. Led by Colin Burgess and featuring a wide ensemble of New York City's funniest performers, Ryan Martin Brown's debut feature is an uproarious comedy -- filmed on location in the midst of America's "Great Resignation" -- about the search for meaning in the modern world.

It kind of floats away as you're watching it, but it has a fascinating core idea... It's promising, and I'd like to see another film by this director.

IndieWire

Rather than a spirited diatribe about the need to step away from our desks and live life, it’s a thoughtful little comedy about how those soul-crushing hours in the office have the unintended benefit of giving us a personal life that’s worth missing.

Rated: B-

Moviepudding

A satirical portrait of disaffected youth, Ryan Martin Brown’s concise almost unbearably hilarious film is small in scale but suggestive of something larger in spirit as it dramatizes the Millennial Resignation and elevates it into fable.

At 76 minutes, “Free Time” is a short, easy watch, one that might not leave a lasting impression but manages to succeed in anticipating what’s next for Burgess and director Ryan Martin Brown.

Rated: B+

The Film Stage

Free Time’s strength comes in allowing ample room for grace alongside its indictments. Eschewing self-righteousness, Free Time merely presents a collection of observations on how modern life often plays out like an absurdist comedy.

Rated: B+

A film about a young man's struggle on if life is a better journey to have a corporate career or to find his way as a creative independent soul/entrepreneur. A struggle we all can associate with when we are just starting out. A well written and produced film by Ryan Martin Brown. A definite see. Hopefully this movie will work its way through the independent film Industry.

Cringy, not very funny, not well written or directed. Best part was that it was short.
