Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Andres-Camara I think it's one of the things that makes this movie not come. The director insists on leaving the character alone, only the camera is always too far away. I think he does it to leave Gere alone on the street and see how the people around him react, but he does not realize that really, everyone who walks by his side walks without paying attention to anyone, not just him, but nobody. The movie takes a long time to start. We see him doing the same thing over and over again, always at a distance and we do not empathize. We do not know anything about him. Then it starts and you only see that he complains about everything, even when he can have a help and be able to pull up complains. Yes, nobody deserves to be like this, but if they try to help you, thank them and take them. We almost got to know more other characters than him.Even so, the actors are great. I find it curious to see from time to time how Richard is and how he escapes that walk of person with a lot of class and style, I have always thought that he was one of the actors with the most cinema style. Although it tries to walk like collapsed but sometimes it can not avoid it and they escape to him.I do not like photography, I do not think you have to make a bad photograph to talk about the street. It would have to be cold because of the situation but not insipid.I am very pleased that you have done that haircut with piercing and that you see the scar. If I had it long I understand that this bad cut but being short why?The director does not know how boring it is. If we had known why it is there and how it happens in a more enjoyable way, the film would have won. Only knows how to place the camera at a distance and only manages to leave you at a distance from the character. It makes a long film, too long and the end, which for me is not closed, it will serve him, not me.I would not see her again

eddie_baggins Trying to capture the essence and loneliness of being homeless in a bustling city like New York, Time Out of Mind sees one time heartthrob Richard Gere give his best impersonation of being a struggling street bum (supposedly Gere even lived on the streets for this role) in The Messenger and Rampart director Oren Moverman's highly unengaging and frustratingly distant drama that perhaps seemed destined for golden statues but has ended up but nothing as loose change in a throwaway cup in the minds of many moviegoers.The most frustrating element about Moverman's drama, that has a penchant for not much dialogue as Gere's lost soul George wanders around the streets, running into everyone from his estranged daughter Maggie played by Jena Malone and blink and you'll miss them turns from the likes of Steve Buscemi, Jeremy Strong and Michael Kenneth Williams, is that the film does have the potential and commitment from its leading man to be something special but as George continues his journey and we overhear situations and conversations (like many homeless must feel, like flies on the walls to people's lives) taking place around us, we quickly realise we are not engaged in the slightest in George's plight as to where his come from or where he is ever so slowly going.There's nothing wrong with this at arm's length approach if it's done right but the film is crying out for a bigger hook to make our often arduous time with George more intriguing and compelling but Moverman seems to care little with giving his film a heart or satisfactory reasons for his style with the film and Gere's commitment plus brief moments touching scenes that seem cut from a much more rounded and complete film (such as the films touching final 15 minutes) that are so far above the films other 100 plus minutes of slow going it just ads to the overall feeling of a frustrating watching experience.There's some important messages to be portrayed in Time Out of Mind and it's always good to see the now mostly little scene talents of Gere on screen but Overman's film is a big disappointment for a filmmaker that's delivered films like The Messenger and Love and Mercy (as a writer) and while this was never meant to be an easy watch film, Time Out of Mind doesn't justify our hard time spent enduring this rather uninviting tale.1 ½ Omar Little orderly's out of 5

davideo-2 STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning George (Richard Gere) is a man who's found himself on the downside of life, wondering aimlessly as a homeless man on the streets of New York. Aside from finding a place to sleep for the night, and hustling for spare change here and there, he desperately tries to get reacquainted with his estranged daughter, Maggie (Jena Malone) to little avail. Upon finding sanctuary in the latest in a long line of shelters, he forms a friendship with the enigmatic Dixon (Ben Vereen), which sets him on the road to the final resolution.You can remain a household name for many years after your heyday, so it's all the more surprising that in Oren Moverman's Time Out of Mind, an offbeat indie offering not meant for mainstream fare, that former Hollywood icon Richard Gere was able to meander around the streets of New York, virtually unnoticed while playing his character. This would attest that people notice what the person is before they see who they are, and that serves to add credence to Moverman's stand on the plight of the homeless.The independent feel really shines through, giving it an art house look that sets it in place for what it was meant to be. Of all the locations where films are shot, New York is always plastered in the most glamorous light, but here that veneer is coldly stripped away, giving a blurry, depressing downward glance into all the nooks and crannies you'd never see in a tourist brochure. The 'real life' filming style combines with the quiet, blurry atmosphere to create quite a haunting experience.In a role out of his norm, but close to his heart, Gere immerses himself in his role, the former heartthrob star now giving way to playing a bedraggled, cut and bruised older man. While his performance is absorbing, the mystery of who he is and how he arrived in this state also keeps you wondering. Although it's never really explained, you leave with no less of a downbeat but revealing experience. ****

kyliem11 We follow George, a homeless, alcoholic man, from doorway to gutter. We wait for the entire movie for something to happen, but, sadly, it never really does. A lot of the movie is shot through windows, from inside a building at George on the outside, and visa versa, which I didn't really see the point of. There were time's I actually struggled to keep my eyes open.We do get a bit of an insight into the plight of a homeless person, called cartoons by themselves because they are 'invisible' to most people, which, I guess was the idea of the movie but it just does not keep you interested.I like Gere as an actor but really do not get why he chose to star in this movie, don't waste your time like he did!
