Time Out is as serious as a pink slip. And more than that, it's an observant, unfussily poetic meditation about identity and alienation.
Overview
An unemployed man finds his life sinking more and more into trouble as he hides his situation from his family and friends.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The drama discloses almost nothing.
What a modern horror story!
Human Resources was a good, straightforward tale, but Time Out is better. It's haunting. It's like a poem.
Moody, reflective and acutely noticing, Time Out is less a drama than a cinematic essay about one man's experience in an era defined for professional and laborer by downsizing.
