Time Out(L'Emploi du temps)

The New Yorker by David Denby

This movie makes one grateful that a serious European art cinema still exists. [15 April 2002, p. 88]

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt

Cantet has rich insights into this material, and brings them alive through sensitive acting and powerful filmmaking.

Village Voice by Dennis Lim

Recoing's meta-performance is an unemphatic marvel, his placid countenance stretched tight over telltale flickers: a quickly suppressed smirk of incredulous delight, a nervous twitch of chagrin, an abrupt pang of guilt.

New York Daily News by Jack Mathews

A well-crafted indictment of the dark side of the modern work ethic.

Chicago Reader by Jonathan Rosenbaum

Powerful.

TV Guide Magazine by Ken Fox

Look carefully at that final scene; few happy endings have ever felt so downbeat.

Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan

Not just an especially subtle and thoughtful psychological drama, it's a provocative, even an unnerving one as well.

New York Post by Lou Lumenick

Looks great but moves like molasses, is more interesting than truly involving.

Rolling Stone by Peter Travers

Recoing gives a performance that won't soon be forgotten. Neither will Time Out. It's a great movie.

Film Threat by Rich Cline

This is brilliant filmmaking.
