Revue de Presse

‘’ A dark and brillant series. ‘’ — Journal de Montréal

« Clearly a small Quebec masterpiece. » — Audrey Gauthier, Le Délit

« We fell in love with Time out! » — Journal Metro

« WebTV’s best series. » — Étienne Marquis, TvHebdo

« Between a thriller and a science-fiction film, Time out has everything to become a real success. The pacing is slow, but the editing is tight and always keeps us on the edge of our seat. Not forget to mention the atmospheric musical soundtrack and the beautiful cinematography. » — Patrick Dion, WebTvHebdo

« I really, really loved it. It’s intelligent and well done. The cinematography is beautiful and the actors are good. The use of drawings to express what the hero is feeling is brillant. Well done. » — Sophie Lorain, Producer, director and actress
