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.

TOP CRITIC
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.

An intimate exploration of time unjustly stolen by a justice system that never seems to deliver what it promises.

TOP CRITIC
A gripping documentary that reframes the perception of mass incarceration and its far-reaching effects.

TOP CRITIC
It allows us to see Fox and her family through their own eyes while giving the film the scope of an epic-one made up of fragments and focused, like all epics, on the promise of catharsis in a homecoming.

TOP CRITIC
A documentary that does what few films of any kind can do: it easily gets the audience to sympathize with and completely understand the struggles of a stranger. It is a powerful and emotional call for fairness and equality.

… [Garrett Bradley is] a new empathetic and caring voice that comes at a time when American cinema is sorely lacking in one.

Tanner Tafelski
Kinoscope
It is a devastating and observant film about what the passage of time does to everyone, but particularly to those who are bound to a Sisyphean task, or who must always compete with memory, or what might have been.

Jason Shawhan
Nashville Scene
One leaves [Time] with a sense that intimacy is no substitute for specificity, and the conviction that being truly present requires more than just being there.

Lawrence Garcia
In Review Online
The value of this documentary is not in the long 20 years it took to film it, but in the approach of one of the fundamental aspects of the punishment of being incarcerated: the loss of time. [Full Review in Spanish]
