Time Stands Still is a sweet, small Hungarian film that comes surrounded by great praise, and is just a little too inconsequential to deserve it. Go to Full Review J.A. Conner Santa Cruz Sentinel 02/07/2019
Time Stands Still is horny, nihilistic, political, obscure, funny, intense, and rewarding. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 06/17/2005

02/06/2019 The story takes place in Budapest 1963. Two brothers left by their father, living with their mother and her phlegmatic boyfiend, try to get on in life in the period of communism, after the revolution when Coca Cola and Elvis barely reached the Hungarian youth. This one is a very good picture of this era, bittersweet and tough, I liked the special characters and the suitable intimate music. See more 02/06/2019 ive seen a lot of movies!
