In the final months of his mother Elaine's late-stage dementia, as a pandemic rages across the globe, filmmaker Kyle Henry time travels via his family archive and his own memories to heal past wounds. Theirs is a large Texan family, but as one of Elaine's primary caregivers, the gay son shares a unique and complicated bond with his mother. Charting his mother's early life and dashed desires through to years of motherhood and self-sacrifice, and tracing their relationship to its inevitable end, Time Passages playfully reckons with feelings of grief, conflict and loss of control. Beneath the Kodachrome smiles and grainy Super-8 home movies, Henry unearths difficult truths as an act of intergenerational healing that becomes a testament to love, legacy and those things that carry us through life's most challenging times.

Matt Zoller Seitz RogerEbert.com This is an inchoate movie, inevitably so, and heroic for embracing a challenge that it might not be possible to master. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Tom Atkinson Film Threat Time Passages is an acquired taste. It forgoes neatness in favour of emotional resonance. Rated: 8/10 Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Christopher Lloyd The Film Yap A filmmaker chronicles his mother's descent into Alzheimer's, but along the way offers a sensitive exploration of their relationship and how we reconcile our individual burdens. Rated: 4.5/5 Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Ray Pride Newcity Idealized imagery as generations know it meshes with that which cannot be visualized. Chaos, indeed, reigns, and Henry works to domesticate it. The attempt is as vital and captivating and a traditional, highly polished rendition might have been. Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Philip Bagnall Loud and Clear Reviews Even if Kyle Henry occasionally can’t decide between telling his mother’s story or his own, both are now on the record, and the relationship between them is full of love and care. We can’t ask for much more than that between mother and son. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Unflinching, poignant and intimate.
