	Media	Author	Review
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"This navel-gazing epic is maddeningly distancing at almost every turn, lacking the spiritual and existential breadth of even Reygadas’ most impenetrable work"
		Michael Nordine IndieWire	"'Nuestro tiempo' ultimately feels like an extended couples-therapy session that we were invited to by mistake"
		Jay Weissberg Variety	"A self-indulgent patience-tester that appears to be a work of self-analysis (...) Even the director’s shrink might find [it] banal"
		Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"This critic has seen 'Our Time' twice now, and at each screening was equal parts enthralled, exasperated, impatient and inspired. "
		Mike D'Angelo AV Club	"Carlos Reygadas wastes 'Our Time' with a very long therapy session masquerading as a drama (...) There’s way too much time indulged here"
		Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"A film of considerable visual poetry (...) [It] often makes oppressive viewing and at times struggles to justify its nearly three-hour length."
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"An alluring spectacle – but shallow and self-indulgent (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Tara Brady Irish Times	"It wouldn’t be a Reygadas film if it didn’t leave the viewer feeling conflicted and creeped out. And the cinematography (by Adrian Durazo and Diego García) is gorgeous (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
