Reaction: It's rare that a Steven Spielberg film doesn't connect with audiences at the box office, but it has become more common than during his heydays - both in and out of LRF - as the film becomes his highest grossing film for the studio.
"Circumstances of Time finds itself in a weird genre gray area. It doesn't have enough science fiction to appeal to hardcore sci-fi fans, and isn't always dramatic enough to appeal to the drama film-goers. On top of that, the stakes feel surprisingly low for a big budget Steven Spielberg film." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com
"Andrew Garfield makes for a surprisingly likable leading man in Circumstances of Time - Garfield's first film for the studio since his Best Actor nominated performance in Standing Back way back in Season 6. It doesn't hurt that he's directed by Spielberg here, who has always excelled at making sure his leading man is likable." - Shawn Moseby, Fresno Bee
"I think the film was well cast, full of talented actors who suit their roles. Like-wise, the writing is strong and well plotted. I ended up liking the film, but not loving it. At the end of the day, the film is fine, but it feels too light-weight at times given the pedigree of its cast and crew." - Geoff Bray, Slant Magazine
