- 88ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliHaunting and disturbing, Time is the kind of motion picture that gets under your skin and doesn't let go.
- 88Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsKim evokes everything from "Seconds" to "Nip/Tuck" here, but his sureness of touch and lack of melodrama make the themes pertinent and vivid. A heartening step up from Kim's previous film, "The Bow."
- 88TV Guide MagazineKen FoxTV Guide MagazineKen FoxAn uncanny and thoroughly creepy nip-yuck nightmare about plastic surgery and identity.
- 80Village VoiceVillage VoiceSimply put, Time is about the eternal war between infatuation and familiarity, and our irreconcilable need to find both in the same person. In other words, it's a parable about the root of human unhappiness.
- 80SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirI'm not sure yet if Time is a masterwork, a deranged folly or just a showman's highly persuasive trick. Whatever else it is, it's a clean, economical and handsome film, terrifically acted, with a heart full of treachery and mystery.
- Mr. Kim flips between soapy melodrama and dry, self-aware comedy. The effect is thrilling and disorienting, like walking on a trampoline.

- 63PremiereGlenn KennyPremiereGlenn KennyTime is more than reasonably diverting.
- 60VarietyDerek ElleyVarietyDerek ElleyScript is sometimes confusingly structured, and in its second half doesn't move as smoothly from scene to scene as in Kim's best pics.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood ReporterMore accessible than some of the filmmaker's more extreme work.
