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.

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.

Unfortunately, however, to repeat, Suspended Time alternates between middle class obliviousness and awareness of graver, widespread difficulties.

A bit rambling, meandering, and some would argue inconsequential, Suspended Time is nevertheless poetic, earnest, and smart.

There aren’t great depths of insight to be mined here, but the film is affable and playful enough to entertain while also nagging us to think back on our own experiences during the pandemic, when things may not have been so sun-dappled and easygoing.
