Whelan Barzey Time Out 07/25/2023
5/5
For all its indignation, Time is fuelled by only the most positive energy. It’s a deeply personal and intimate film with a universal message: there is nothing more valuable than time, but there is also nothing more powerful than love. Go to Full Review
Guy Lodge Film of the Week 04/16/2021
It's a dazzling, prismatic meditation on the nature of time itself, [...] a reflection on the life that grows and blooms even as we wait impatiently for years to pass. Go to Full Review

This is a beautifully shot film that's as interested in studying the changing faces of its subjects as laying out their struggle from end to end. Go to Full Review

[Time asks viewers] whether they believe in time served and second chances, and to bear witness to a prison-industrial complex built on the legacy of slavery. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 2 Real footage in 1 hour and 21 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG-13 for Some Strong Language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Leaburn O Dec 31 The sentence handed down was bonkers and cruel but I’ve never heard an armed bank robber play the victim quite like the mother. Even her apology in the church was a confected egotistical affair without an ounce of genuine contrition. She fought hard but acted like a true evangelical pastor, someone you can never trust. Watched on Amazon Prime. See more Ricardo R 03/04/2024 Biased documentary. There's a lot to be desired about the american judicial system, however this particular case deals with actual armed robbers who got convicted for their crimes. The characters don't really seem to take responsibility on the actions they comitted, instead just try to make themselves look like victims of the system. See more Kyle M 02/27/2023 The starring discourse been provoked before, but inspired to present a personally affected case may have aimed to question the flawed American justice system refreshingly further while poetically assigning it as relation to the titular theme with not much effect besides relevant criticism. (B) See more Thomas M @TMProofreader 11/27/2022 The best documentary movie ever made! See more @Lakeman 03/09/2022 Very well done, Garrrett Bradley. The footage from several stages in the life of Sibil (AKA Fox Rich) since incarceration is pretty amazing to watch. The decision to time jump and the editing choices on what to use when, how much, the building effect on the viewer is highly impressive. Rich is a truly remarkable, commendable human being. I applaud her for all her ceaseless devotion to the man she loved and father of her kids, as well as her efforts in helping others overcome adversity in its many, many forms. That said the real sympathy I have for them is from the innate disenfranchisement that far too many experience, be it a minority, the poor, the disabled, others. A great many are a combination or two (or more) of these demographics; but they're fully human being all the time as well. Such a reality can prevent you from getting a loan you need desperately for your home/business/livelihood. It can obstruct your access to upward mobility. And it can drive you to desperate measures. But good doesn't come from doing wrong. No real sympathy for the punishment for robbing a bank- stealing what most others have busted their asses for; taking a measure of security and trust from people it can take years (decades?) to regain; giving up on their own abilities, their own resilience to ultimately succeed. This is exceptional documentary filmmaking. But if god is so damn great and blesses you so much, then why did you get so desperate that you robbed a bank (how Christian/Protestant of you!) and ended up in prison? I know, it was a test, right? Apologists have a field day with those questions. 3.8 stars See more Read all reviews
