Killing Time received a mixed to positive reception from critics and audiences alike. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 75% approval rating based on critics' reviews, with an average rating of 6.8/10. Reviewers praised Marta Almodóvar’s compelling performance, highlighting her ability to convey complex emotions subtly and powerfully. The New York Times noted, “Almodóvar carries the film with a mesmerizing intensity, anchoring the story’s intricate psychological depths.” Metacritic gave it a score of 62 out of 100, indicating generally favorable reviews but also pointing out some pacing issues and a convoluted storyline that may challenge some viewers. IMDb users rated the film 6.5/10, commending its atmospheric tension and cinematography but citing that the plot may feel slow or overly ambiguous for those expecting a straightforward thriller.

Overall, the film is regarded as a thoughtful, nuanced thriller that excels in character study but may not appeal to audiences seeking high-action suspense.
