One of the year’s most thought-provoking and spellbinding releases, Our Time is calibrated for patience and observation with ideas as concrete as such an ambiguous storyteller like Reygadas can offer. Read full review

Our Time is even funny sometimes, albeit in the same kind of wryly mordant and cosmically alienated way as Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut.” Read full review

The movie asks a lot of the viewer, but to this viewer, it gave back more. Read full review

While the film can be tough to endure, one does come away feeling like the artist behind it genuinely went for something instead of recycling cliches. Our Time perhaps does give one enough hope that, yes, the next one will be better. Read full review

It’s a shame that the narrative, with often astute and eloquent reflections on humanity, fails to cohere as a whole and gets bogged down by a common love triangle. Our Time is gorgeously filmed, but it is also vapid, and perhaps the languorous mind of this auteur needs to be shaken up. Read full review

However truthful or invented Our Time may be, its dynamic is tiresomely petty and small, resisting Reygadas’ occasional efforts at expressionism. It plays like therapy. Read full review

Our Time is gorgeously shot, naturally, and the intentions are well-meaning but far too self-serving. Read full review

Carlos Reygadas has become one of the greatest film-makers of our time.

All his films have been great works, but this is his first masterpiece, exploring most of the same central themes of marriage, fidelity, infidelity and ranching that his two previous films ('Silent Light' and 'Post Tenebras Lux') have, but with more coherence and focus than 'Post Tenebras Lux', and more depth than either of them.

Nothing about the cinema engages me as much as masterful cinematography, and I've encountered very, very few directors whose cameras have awed me with their grace, uniquity and creativity as much as Reygadas has with his more recent works. The visual texture of the Digital Cinema Package format is definitely a hindrance, but this is easily the most visually astounding film I've ever seen made with it. Over and over and over again, I found myself asking 'How in the hell does this man DO it?'… Expand

this film plays like a relationship, as a piece of powerful poetry, not only due to the strength and beauty of its images and sound, the pace, the irksome power that Reygadas thrusts on the spectator. indeed, it is different from his previous corpus yet as disarming and provoking as ever.this film plays like a relationship, as a piece of powerful poetry, not only due to the strength and beauty of its images and sound, the pace, the irksome power that Reygadas thrusts on the spectator. indeed, it is different from his previous corpus yet as disarming and provoking as ever. you need, need to, see this movie.… Expand
