🔴The Feeling That The Time For Doing Something Has Passed Review: Loneliness Is Hilarious In🔴
0The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed was written, directed, and stars Joanna Arnow, and it's clear from the beginning that though this is her world, her character is merely passing through it. Arnow plays Ann, a 30-something millennial living in New York City. However, this version lacks the glitz and glamour of shows like Sex and the City, delivering an honesty akin to Girls while standing completely on its own. The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Past is rooted in an unforgiving reality that reminds the audience to laugh at moments of tragedy.
Billed as a comedy, The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed is undoubtedly hilarious, but the root of that comedy is the inescapable feeling of being alone. Ann has little dialogue for the first half of the film. She silently takes in the insults and compliments from those around her. Allen (Scott Cohen) and Chris (Babak Tafti) are the male leads in her life, and while they couldn't be more different, they each leave something to be desired. On paper, Chris is the person that life says she should end up with, but it's rarely that simple.
Ann might be uncomfortable in many parts of her life, but she's willing to try anything to find what she's looking for, and doesn't pass judgment on her efforts, or anyone else's. Though the windows we get into Ann's life are few and far between, they're still enough to glean the trajectory of her life, and experience time passing as she does. The film is broken up into sections, all titled with the names of the men she's seeing. This point is driven home by how long it takes before we hear a character speak her name.
