Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A brittle, pompous drama about artists and the price they pay for inspiration.

rotten:
"The Time Being'' looks sharp, but it's about as dramatically satisfying as watching paint dry.

rotten:
An exhaustingly pretentious heave of artistic self-involvement, "The Time Being" takes an exceptionally handsome journey to nowhere at all.

rotten:
While the underdeveloped script - co-written by Richard Gladstein - never earns its sense of self-importance, the visuals are evocative enough to draw us further into the movie's ultimately unsatisfying mysteries.

rotten:
Not to be glib, but sitting through the art-centric chamber piece "The Time Being" is truly like watching paint dry.
