Time Out of Mind is another stellar, quiet, little film and Gere, going rather against type, is excellent.
This is an American drama about an aging homeless man trying to pull his life back together. It follows Gere as he goes about his day trying to stay warm, get fed, find shelter, sleep without bothering anyone, and generally navigate the system. In no way does Time Out of Mind romanticize homelessness. However, at the end of the day, what we have here is another white, hetero, male perspective. As much as I love Gere, and he's wonderful here, this film could reveal so much more about homelessness if the protagonist was a trans youth, a teenage mother, or a veteran... you get the point. I'm in no way knocking the film. Not at all. It really works.
4/5
