Reviews

Time Confinement has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a modest rating around 5.7/10, with viewers praising Jeon Cho-bin’s compelling performance and the movie’s ability to build suspense through a minimalist setting. Some reviewers appreciate the film’s atmospheric tension and its unflinching look at captivity, noting its strong character focus as a highlight. However, some critics on platforms like HanCinema and Naver Films point out the film's slow pacing and limited character development beyond the central figure, which may detract from the overall impact for some viewers. The film has been commended for its psychological depth but has been critiqued for lacking a broader narrative complexity. This polarized reception reflects its niche appeal, mostly resonating with fans of intense psychological thrillers rather than mainstream audiences.
