Time Out

Time Out is stylish and hushed, at once suspenseful and melancholy. It can't be neatly fitted into a genre, just as its hero--played with devastating understatement by Recoing--can't be easily dismissed as a psycho or a villain.

Time Out is as serious as a pink slip. And more than that, it's an observant, unfussily poetic meditation about identity and alienation.

The drama discloses almost nothing.

As it progresses, I have the feeling that the portrait about mythomania and unemployment is leading nowhere and is as unnecessary as it is forgettable. [Full review in Spanish]
