Its premise and story might not be original but its emotional impact is as genuine as humanly possible. Ozon's best since 8 Femmes.
To me this is perfect drama.
I love this heartbreaking story which is told very naturally. Great acting performance by Melvil Poupaud. The second movie by François Ozon which I like, the first one being 8 femmes, also a recommendation.
To me, [Time To Leave] perhaps is the greatest motion picture Francois Ozon has ever made, so far. Ozon is clever enough not to put this movie into the melodrama category. Romain- a cocky, egoistic, dyeing man chooses to hide his diagnosis from his family & his other half, except...( read more)
An amateur (perhaps already too used) project by Ozon, and still it has the power to make you think about the importance of your life and relationships you carry out every day, and is touching for the heart.

Too human, too touching, Time to Leave (Le Temps Qui Reste) is a honest drama about the wasted time. Ozon delivered a well development film with a nice story and compelling character. If you like french cinema, you should really watch this.

it certainly is a disaster. there was just one "chapter" -u may call it- worth watching, where he visits his grandma; that's all.
Sweet, sexy & poignant. Just wonderful. MPoupaud is too gorgeous & JMoreau is as beautiful as ever. See SWIMMING POOL & 8 WOMEN. Luv FO always.
It does absolutely nothing that previous movies dealing with this subject haven't done. full review
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. full review
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.
As with all Ozon's work, Time to Leave resounds with grace notes. full review
