- 90VarietyCatherine BrayVarietyCatherine BrayIt’s the unique rhythm of the way that this film is written and cut that elevates it beyond a standard millennial malaise movie.
- 90ColliderChase HutchinsonColliderChase HutchinsonWhen watching The Feeling That The Time For Doing Something Has Passed, the brilliant comedy from writer-director Joanna Arnow in which she also stars, both comedy and tragedy are expertly wielded in her hands.
- 83The Film StageRory O'ConnorThe Film StageRory O'ConnorIt’s a wonderfully distinctive debut by Arnow, who lays it all out in both her script and performance.
- 80Screen DailyJonathan RomneyScreen DailyJonathan RomneyThe do’s, don’t’s and don’t-even-go-there’s of contemporary dating have long been standard fodder for US indie cinema, but they rarely get dissected quite so tartly, or with such weirdly impassive wit, as in The Feeling That The Time For Doing Something Has Passed.
- 80Paste MagazineBrianna ZiglerPaste MagazineBrianna ZiglerThe Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Past beautifully observes how the ridiculous mundanities of being alive are some of the most difficult.
- 80The Daily BeastNick SchagerThe Daily BeastNick SchagerA portrait of millennial estrangement and discontent that, despite suffering from sporadic redundancy, strikes a raw cringe-comedy nerve.
- 75IndieWireRyan LattanzioIndieWireRyan LattanzioThe Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed lacks for drama in its portrayal of the quotidian realities of sexual kink, but Arnow’s voice is distinctive, shrewd, and spiky enough to keep it afloat.

- 70The Hollywood ReporterLovia GyarkyeThe Hollywood ReporterLovia GyarkyeArnow’s film won’t be for everyone — there’s a specificity and an insider energy to some of the jokes, which don’t always land — but there’s enough to fuel curiosity about what Arnow is trying to do. Even the title, with its sense of drifting and silent ellipses, makes you think.
- 63Slant MagazineMark HansonSlant MagazineMark HansonThe film embodies the alienating angst of millennial life in all its nakedly neurotic glory.
