Critics Consensus
Armageddon Time finds writer-director James Gray excavating his own past and returning with a well-acted drama refreshingly free of nostalgia.
Audience Says
Anthony Hopkins and the rest of the cast are great, but Armageddon Time's story is slow and the ending is a major letdown.
Scott Tobias The Reveal 12/19/2022 Armageddon Time is the rare case where the bitterness overwhelms sweetness, and true enlightenment comes from rejecting nostalgia at every turn. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 11/20/2022 Preteen drama is amplified by robust and fairly obvious musical choices, but more interesting is the sound design: the city is everywhere, grumbling and fractious, the sound of a short fuse burning out. Go to Full Review Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) 11/18/2022 Gray’s latest, Armageddon Time, is a flawed work. But it sees the filmmaker at his most vulnerable, as he twists the camera back on himself and asks: of all the paths that brought me here, how many were carved out by my own privilege? Go to Full Review Stephen Garrett Book & Film Globe Aug 20 As a snapshot, though, Armageddon Time vividly evokes a young man’s sobering, bittersweet realization that [the] world is always bifurcated into the virtuous and the venal. Go to Full Review Geoffrey Macnab iNews.co.uk 01/17/2025 James Gray’s autobiographical coming-of-age drama contains a fierce, unsentimental performance from Banks Repeta - and a marvellous 80s New York atmosphere.

See more janice h 11/20/2022 the ending could have been better. See more Lewis T 11/19/2022 powerful family drama with an all star cast. brilliant acting See more SLED 11/18/2022 Well, I got a bit bored watching it. It reminded me more of the 70's not the 80's. We didn't have big, loud cars. They got much more smaller in the 80's. And the clothes did not look like that either. About the only thing I felt was correct was Reagan was president. I guess the east coast was much more different than the west coast was during that time. I was in my 20's so maybe that's why I felt it didn't reflect the 80's as I remember it See more Claire 11/18/2022 The grandfather tells the boy to be a mensch, tell the truth and protect those in need. He doesn't, his privilege protects him. See more Read all reviews
