Centering mostly around a struggling artist (Wes Bentley) and his mysterious new benefactor (Frank Langella), the film touches on themes of loneliness, family\u00a0and social need, but doesn&#8217;t\u00a0sketch out its characters in interesting or dynamic enough fashion to ever blossom into anything more than a meditative curio.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel\u00a0(Bentley) is a struggling\u00a0painter and young father whose\u00a0frustration with his own lack of breakthrough success\u00a0has pushed relations with his wife (Ahna O&#8217;Reilly) toward a breaking point. His latest gallery show nets only a single sale, to reclusive millionaire Warner (Langella). Visiting him in hopes of additional commissions,\u00a0Warner instead offers Daniel\u00a0a series of strange and very specific assignments of videotaping things (no, no plastic bags are involved). Desperate for money, Daniel accepts. Ornery (&#8220;That&#8217;s a very American way to qualify a person&#8217;s value,&#8221; he says when asked what he did prior to retirement) and terminally ill, Warner brushes aside Daniel&#8217;s awkward attempts at negotiation by curtly saying, &#8220;If I intended to pay that much I would have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This continues for a while, and some of Warner&#8217;s secrets slowly come out; he\u00a0eventually confesses having pulled a &#8220;Hungry Heart&#8221;-type walk-out, not wanting to feel beholden in life, as a provider. As he learns more, Daniel has to figure out what to do with this information, and what, if anything,\u00a0it ultimately means for his career.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Time Being&#8221; resolutely lacks any sort of cathartic roundhouse kick, but it&#8217;s never really boring mainly because Cican-Sain is a disciplined director, and also oversees a beguiling technical package that hints at roiled inner landscapes the screenplay proper doesn&#8217;t much address. The film&#8217;s cinematography and austere production design are alluring, drawing viewers into a mystery without really ever tipping its hand tonally, one way or the other.<\/p>\n<p>What &#8220;The Time Being&#8221; lacks is something to stand in starker contrast to its spartan aesthetic. As written, Daniel isn&#8217;t the most proactive or pronounced character, but\u00a0Bentley also plays him\u00a0in a blank-faced manner that makes him seem divorced from any rooting interest in his own life, almost as if he&#8217;s trying to out-sublimate Langella. This is, needless to say,\u00a0not a winning strategy. By the time &#8220;The Time Being&#8221;&#8216;s\u00a0family secrets\u00a0are fully revealed, the movie&#8217;s unusual hold has lessened considerably. Still, there are the roots of something different and striking here, even if its shoots aren&#8217;t fully developed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> In addition to its theatrical dates\u00a0in\u00a0New York, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Portland and Boca Raton, &#8220;The Time Being&#8221; opens in Louisville on August 9. It is also currently available across VOD platforms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical: B+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Acting: B-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story: C+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall: B-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Written by: Brent Simon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Time-Being-Movie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Time-Being-Movie.jpg\" alt=\"The Time Being Movie\" title=\"The Time Being Movie\" width=\"535\" height=\"314\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-127756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Time-Being-Movie.jpg 535w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Time-Being-Movie-300x176.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: The Time Being Director: Nenad Cican-Sain Starring: Wes Bentley, Frank Langella, Sarah Paulson, Ahna O&#8217;Reilly, Corey Stoll, Gina Gallego A willfully muted chamber piece, &#8220;The Time Being,&#8221; co-written and directed by Nenad Cican-Sain, is a curious thing.
