Time to Leave Reviews
Time to Leave strikes a certain register of restrained placidity, yet in the end, succumbs to more and more frequent idealizing interludes.

This is the most personal, deeply felt film from the gifted director of "Under the Sand" and "Swimming Pool." Ozon leaches his melodrama of all sentimentality, and moves us all the more.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2006
It's a quiet and poignant look at a life as it slips away, seen through the eyes of a character who's not always likable but remains entirely real.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 3, 2006
It does absolutely nothing that previous movies dealing with this subject haven't done.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 20, 2006
Modern audiences are more likely to find the character's behavior to be extremely frustrating, undercutting any sympathetic response one might have for his situation.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 30, 2006
The entire film is a balancing trick, with scenes of potential banality redeemed at the last by a subtle twist or subversion. In their conflicted expressions, the performers prove themselves experts at their own high-wire acts.

A beautiful, frank and utterly absorbing examination of death.
| Original Score: A- | Sep 7, 2006
It's affecting.

Sumptuously filmed but rather distant.

We watch Romain change as he struggles with his mortality and, as he does, we come to care about him.
Full Review | Original Score: B | Aug 17, 2006
Has its effective moments of restrained intimacy but lacks the depth to give the slow-going narrative much impact.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 1, 2006
Much of the film works to undercut any sense of real emotion.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 28, 2006
It's about a gay man coming to terms with his mortality, and, in a plot twist that's as contrived as it is ironic, with the biblical injunction to procreate.

Time to Leave blows a fresh, skeptical wind through fairly corny melodramatic territory while keeping faith with the operatic emotions of the genre.

Time to Leave just might be Ozon's best work yet. He tackles a sensitive, off-putting subject with a dignity that will put viewers at ease.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 14, 2006
Time to Leave comes across with unexpected moments of illuminated stillness, and any movie that gives meaningful face time to the incomparable [Jeanne] Moreau can never be a total waste of time.

Directed by the prolific François Ozon, Time to Leave stars Melvil Poupaud as a fashion photographer facing the certainty that his life will soon be over.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 13, 2006
Moreau's few ripe scenes are choice, and she spices up the joint with her gravelly voice of je ne regrette rien.
