The plot is not the main event here, anyway. The craft of Eleanor Lambert, Claudia Black, and Xxavier Polk are infinitely more arresting than the script they're working with...

Time Now is the definition of a slow burn, and unfortunately, the middle act meanders and treads water.

Rated: 2.5/5

A mystery with no real mystery, a thriller with no real thrills.

Film International

A dirge-worthy film, chock full of familial doom and gloom.... If you like despondency and depression, here's an indie effort that doses it out in large quantities.

Rated: 3.5/5

Assignment X

Unfortunately, Time Now is one of those movies that too often tries to be mysterious at the expense of character insights and even coherence. Consequently, it is not especially fulfilling.

Rated: C+

Eleanor Lambert gives a strong performance... her final moments are unflinching and heartbreaking.

Early on it is not abundantly clear what has happened, how exactly characters are connected, or why any of this is relevant. That goes on for too long and before any of that is better explained it starts getting too fast and loose with the plot, interjecting more characters and scenes than are needed. With a setup like that, a film really needs to deliver in the back half and... this fell woefully short of doing so and the end came nowhere close to justifying the means. Could have been cut down to a 90 second PSA.

If I could give it ZERO stars, I would. It was an awful movie, in my opinion. What a waste of time.

I think that this movie was...just there. I wasn't in any way finding myself identifying with or sympathetic to the main character, she was off putting. Also, the choice of scoring/sound effects late in the movie were extremely wrong for the type of film and feel. The music gave an indication of deep horror and suspense but that wasn't what was happening in the film itself. It was the discovery of a dumb decision, leading to a dumb and extremely overreactive response by the main character. Left me with that feeling of having wasted some time with no payoff.
