Ben Sachs Chicago Reader [Writer-director Carlos] Reygadas is nothing if not ambitious-when he fails, he fails big. Mar 24, 2020 Full Review Claudia Puig FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) You feel like you've walked into someone's couples therapy session. You're locked in there with them and you're desperately looking for a way out. Oct 1, 2019 Full Review Scott Marks San Diego Reader The experience must have been a cathartic one for Reygadas, but at 177 minutes, audience members who survive this marathon round of couples therapy deserve to charge an hourly rate. Rated: 1/5 Jul 19, 2019 Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine What bothers me more than the film’s greatly-attenuated content is that, five features in, Reygadas appears to have settled on an aesthetic toolbox with a set number of shot possibilities. Jan 5, 2023 Full Review Justine Smith Hyperallergic In its voyeurism, the movie exposes the viewer's own voyeuristic relationship with sex and art. Feb 26, 2020 Full Review Soham Gadre Film Inquiry There isn't a single sequence in the film which feels unneeded or doesn't contribute to a larger understanding of why time is of such essence to each of us, but for completely different reasons.

Audience Member Niby o człowieku w otwartym związku (i to jest ok), ale przez większość czasu o niczym. Taka nuda, że już każdy dzień mojego życia jest ciekawszy Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member After a mesmerizing opening scene, controversial filmmaker Carlos Reygadas delievers his most conventional film to date, and also -and maybe therefore- the least absorbing and haunting. I would have actually prefer the pretentiousness of " Post tenebras lux" than the uneven and cold story of " Our time" , film saved only by some good twists and acting efforts. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review raphael g My least favorite film by Reygadas so far. It just wasn't as spellbinding and magical. But it was very beautifully made, and the story is very sad and very real - saying that as someone who was 11 years in a relationship! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Carlos Reygadas has become one of the greatest film-makers of our time. All his films have been great works, but this is his first masterpiece, exploring most of the same central themes of marriage, fidelity, infidelity and ranching that his two previous films ('Silent Light' and 'Post Tenebras Lux') have, but with more coherence and focus than 'Post Tenebras Lux', and more depth than either of them. Nothing about movies engages me as much as masterful cinematography, and I've encountered very, very few directors whose cameras have awed me with their grace, uniquity and creativity as much as Reygadas has with his more recent works. The visual texture of the Digital Cinema Package format is definitely a hindrance, but this is easily the most visually astounding film I've ever seen made with it. Over and over and over again, I found myself asking 'How in the hell does this man DO it?' Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Lo de Reygadas es increíble, película de fondo, bien trabajada, hecha en filigrana, muy bien pensada aunque un tanto mas larga de lo necesario. El tema son las relaciones personales, en especial la de pareja, como se desenvuelven hoy en día, en nuestro tiempo, que no es el mismo tiempo de la gran mayoría. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Musings on a disintegrating marriage. It is an tried and tested–if not unoriginal–story told in an uninspired way. The cinematography is breathtaking, with aerial views of Mexico City and horses galloping through the mud in torrential rain. There are also some interesting moments acted by Reygadas' actual family. But the marriage and family dynamics don't tell us anything new, and are just not interesting enough to capture the audience's attention for 3 hours–which in reality feel more like 6. By the end of the film, I felt more or less disgusted by all the characters, but mostly, I just felt bored.. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
