Our Time Machine leaves you wanting a whole lot more, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Austin Chronicle

Maleonn somehow finds an anchor of optimism amidst the situation, despite his father's steady memory decline. That, too, is part of this film's gift.

Rated: 3/5

It's a sweet doc, one that neither over-extends itself nor gins up daily conflicts into climactic moments.

Rated: 3/5

Third Coast Review

The filmmakers took their time making a film about the passage of it, chronicling not only Maleonn's production and his father's illness but also the artist's evolving personal life.

Rated: 3.5/4

Our Time Machine suggests that art has healing qualities-not just for its audience, but for art-makers themselves, and even those who can no longer make the art they spent their lives on.
