Watch Time Out of Mind For Free

Crappy film

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Life is even harder in real life but this movie does bring it to the screen. my first thought when reading the "critical" reviews what that people don't want to see the reality. these are mostly people that walk on by ignoring. Not all people who are homeless are mental ill. some that are fall deeper in. People in general don't like reality movies. I had read an article when it was released that people didn't recognize RG during filming. I have know many homeless people and have slept in my car several times lived in transient motels and worked whenever I could. The sad reality is that too many people in America live like this. the film was real.

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning George (Richard Gere) is a man who's found himself on the downside of life, wondering aimlessly as a homeless man on the streets of New York. Aside from finding a place to sleep for the night, and hustling for spare change here and there, he desperately tries to get reacquainted with his estranged daughter, Maggie (Jena Malone) to little avail. Upon finding sanctuary in the latest in a long line of shelters, he forms a friendship with the enigmatic Dixon (Ben Vereen), which sets him on the road to the final resolution.You can remain a household name for many years after your heyday, so it's all the more surprising that in Oren Moverman's Time Out of Mind, an offbeat indie offering not meant for mainstream fare, that former Hollywood icon Richard Gere was able to meander around the streets of New York, virtually unnoticed while playing his character. This would attest that people notice what the person is before they see who they are, and that serves to add credence to Moverman's stand on the plight of the homeless.The independent feel really shines through, giving it an art house look that sets it in place for what it was meant to be. Of all the locations where films are shot, New York is always plastered in the most glamorous light, but here that veneer is coldly stripped away, giving a blurry, depressing downward glance into all the nooks and crannies you'd never see in a tourist brochure. The 'real life' filming style combines with the quiet, blurry atmosphere to create quite a haunting experience.In a role out of his norm, but close to his heart, Gere immerses himself in his role, the former heartthrob star now giving way to playing a bedraggled, cut and bruised older man. While his performance is absorbing, the mystery of who he is and how he arrived in this state also keeps you wondering. Although it's never really explained, you leave with no less of a downbeat but revealing experience. ****

We follow George, a homeless, alcoholic man, from doorway to gutter. We wait for the entire movie for something to happen, but, sadly, it never really does. A lot of the movie is shot through windows, from inside a building at George on the outside, and visa versa, which I didn't really see the point of. There were time's I actually struggled to keep my eyes open.We do get a bit of an insight into the plight of a homeless person, called cartoons by themselves because they are 'invisible' to most people, which, I guess was the idea of the movie but it just does not keep you interested.I like Gere as an actor but really do not get why he chose to star in this movie, don't waste your time like he did!

A thoughtful, deeply moving study of homelessness in urban America, specifically, what it's like to be homeless in New York City. "Time Out of Mind" is a maddening film. It fits none of the expected narrative templates that we've come to expect from a mainstream movie, and because of its seemingly pointless, aimless plot - nothing that matters of any consequence happens to anyone, and the main character, George, appears dazed, lost in every sense of the word - I gave up on it...then decided to keep watching. I finished the movie and felt I had seen something profound, profoundly disturbing about the indifference we show those at the margins, the "failures". It's not an easy film to watch. I think that's the point. This is a subject that we all would prefer to turn away from. When homeless, nobody cares. Virginia Woolf said this about Charles Dickens, "We remodel our psychological geography when we read Dickens; we forget that we have ever felt the delights of solitude or observed with wonder the intricate emotions of our friends, or luxuriated in the beauty of nature." This film has re-shaped my "psychological geography" when it comes to NYC. Maybe Woody Allen heard Gershwin while wandering Manhattan. I now hear the distracting noise - the intrusive cellphones, the traffic, all of it - a fierce onslaught that can't be kept at bay. The sound design is relentless and off-putting. And it's true to life. I've been visiting NYC for years, I was there in December. It has never been louder or more annoying. So for George, cursed to live on the street, there is no peace and quiet. Ever. The performances are brilliant, all of them. Gere and Kyra Sedgwick are mesmerizing. And top honors should go to Oren Moverman. What an artist. He wrote another movie this year about the fragility of the mind, about the losing of one's mind, "Love & Mercy". Two fantastic, soul-exploring movies in one year by Oren Moverman. A remarkable achievement.
