A Blair-Witching of the apocalypse-themed movies, almost singularly undramatic.

Reviews for Time of the Wolf
It’s skilfully crafted and effectively depressing, but it feels pointlessly abstract. [blurb]

The film projects a sense of what a tiny window of time mankind has occupied in the history of the universe, and how quickly he could disappear again.

This is [Haneke's] leanest, most brutal work since Funny Games.

Emotions are dulled, faces are deadpan, little is developed and hardly anything revealed about characters.

Where there is light there is life.

Haneke's vision of society in ruins could be called 28 Days Later - but only because the pacing is so bad.

...much of the film is incredibly dull and banal.
10/28/03
Mantendo os personagens em uma escuridão quase permanente, o cineasta cria um sentimento sufocante no público, algo que se torna quase insuportável em alguns momentos.

An unspeakably timely exercise in despair; an experience that leaves you feeling as exposed, as exhausted and as raw as its central characters.

By Haneke's high standards ... it's a minor disappointment, ultimately feeling more evasive than ambiguous.

Intensely involving and almost unbearably abrasive as Haneke tells the story without frills

The Time of the Wolf's portrait of a civilization gone off the tracks tests us to consider exactly how much of the way we live is taken for granted.

The lack of any music, humor or dramatic urgency makes the film feel longer than its 113-minute running time.
