Suspended Time isn’t particularly novel, and it’s a touch too thin to successfully stretch into 105 minutes, but you could do for a worse late August hang than these couples.

The film invites you to listen in your own life to that which is often neglected or unheard.

Rated: 4/4

Calling the spring and summer of 2020 “a utopia,” as Paul does, may be a bit much, but Mr. Assayas has crafted a beautiful and moving tableau of how one small group dealt with a bewildering change.

Distinctive yet rather infuriating.

Suspended Time is a deftly executed rumination on memory that additionally relates how COVID lockdown proved enlightening and therapeutically energizing for some people.

Always Good Movies

Suspended Time quickly goes stale—a talkative, pretentious, and overly nostalgic trifle that leaves annoyance lingering longer than any genuine insight or emotional connection.

Rated: 2/5
