	Media	Author	Review
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"An exhaustingly pretentious heave of artistic self-involvement, 'The Time Being' takes an exceptionally handsome journey to nowhere at al"
		David Fear Time Out	"[Viewers] won't find much here besides Langella's typically austere performance, some lazy character sketches (...) and the sensation one gets after having watched paint dry, painfully slowly, on a canvas (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"While the underdeveloped script (...) never earns its sense of self-importance, the visuals are evocative enough to draw us further into the movie's ultimately unsatisfying mysteries (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"Not to be glib, but sitting through the art-centric chamber piece 'The Time Being' is truly like watching paint dry"
