“Richard Gere gives a remarkable performance in Oren Moverman's spare, soulful study of urban poverty.”
- Justin Chang, Variety
A homeless man (Richard Gere) tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter amidst a cold and
unforgiving urban landscape in this gritty and insightful drama from Oren Moverman (The Messenger) with
a powerhouse, career-best performance from Gere.
Richard Gere gives a career-topping, astonishing performance in this gritty, socially conscious drama
from director Oren Moverman (The Messenger). Gere stars as a man who is recently evicted from his
apartment and thrown into the unforgiving streets of a cold, isolating urban landscape. With nowhere to
go, he strives to find clothing, food, drink, and a bed to sleep in. Occasionally conversing with a good
friend (a strong Ben Vereen) and attempting to reconnect with his daughter (Jena Malone, further proving
to be one of the most fascinating American actresses of her generation), Gere’s character is confronted
with the realities of having nothing while trying to hold onto the something in his life—himself.
Moverman has crafted a film deftly attuned to the struggles and adversities of our economically harsh
environment, but also one that captures the humanity at the center. American Gigolo, Pretty Woman,
Arbitrage—Richard Gere has always impressed and charmed, but nothing comes close to his powerful turn in
Time Out of Mind.
