Time Is Up

Right now you can watch Time Is Up in Australia on Amazon Prime Video — and the chemistry between the leads carries every scene. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. A 6/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Bella Thorne is the anchor, and the chemistry with the rest of the cast carries every scene. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Time Is Up earns its spot. What makes Time Is Up work is that the obstacles feel real, not manufactured for the plot. Vivien, an accomplished student with a passion for physics, and Roy, a troubled young man, are involved in an accident that forces them to reclaim their lives one minute at the time. Bella Thorne and Benjamin Mascolo lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2021. Time Is Up understands that tension needs a believable reason to exist, not just narrative convenience. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For anyone who wants romantic drama that respects their intelligence, Time Is Up is a strong recommendation. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. The chemistry Bella Thorne brings to it is the engine that drives everything. A rarer quality than it sounds — earning the romantic beats rather than assuming them.
