Richard S @RT25368873 03/23/2025 The film is so committed to showing you how boring the protagonists life is that it accidentally makes the whole film boring. From work scenes to sex scenes to family scenes the whole film is boring and flat. Spoiler alert she finds a decent boyfriend by the end so at least there's that. Every 5 minutes I wanted to turn off this show but I wanted to see how it ends. Not because it was interesting in the slightest it just piqued my curiosity. It was kinda cool how as the protagonist finds some excitement in her life the scenes have more light. At the start of the film everything is very dimly lit and it gets brighter near the end.

That said its maybe a little too long. See more Fred N @fneylan 11/14/2024 Can you call a movie a comedy if there are no funny moments? When it was shown in a theater, did anyone laugh at any line? Nothing dramatic here, either. An hour and a half of ennui. Even the moments of faint BDSM have no joy or tension. EIther I or the director, writer, and cast needed to up the dose on their meds for this to be worth it. See more Roy H @RT36963209 09/27/2024 This movie manages to be funny and uncomfortable at the same time I really liked it. The film seemed real, not fulfilling idealized images of beauty, style and relationships. Ann is fully herself not conforming to society's expectations, she is outspoken, speaks her truth, and seems indifferent to what others think she should be doing with her life. I interpreted her as neurodivergent, having relationships on her terms, and living life in a way that works for her. Unlike other characters, she seems unconcerned with how her way of living may detrimentally influence her future; I would expect/hope this character would have the same outlook on life through her elder years.

The acting was decent, just the plot, very artsy for those into artsy movies. There was no, uhem, climax, not really anything. I'm sure it was meant to tell me something, no im not sure of that, i'm assuming, but whatever it was i was supposed to take away from this film went right over my head. It did have it's humorous moments for those who like deadpan. The mom did remind me of my mom, so there's that. Anyway, i guess go ahead and watch it, maybe you'll get it. See more Sam N @RT61650855 08/05/2024 Drenched in discomfort and devoid of joy, “The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed” marks the debut of Joanna Arnow as writer, director, and star. In it, we follow Ann, whose days are spent enduring a domineering boss and whose nights are dedicated to being submissive to various partners. The film brilliantly juxtaposes Ann’s drab public life with her humiliating private escapades, underscoring the perpetual cycle of awkwardness and inertia she’s stuck in. Arnow critiques the universal apathy Ann encounters, making viewers wonder why Ann doesn’t just, you know, try a little harder to jazz up her life. See more Read all reviews
