Richard Gere delivers a soul-baring performance as George, a man whose struggle to find food and a place to sleep in New York City is beautifully captured with remarkable realism and heartrending compassion. Shuffled into the unforgiving bureaucracy of a men's shelter, George seems destined to wind up as just another lost soul swallowed up by the system—until he meets a gregarious, down-and-out ex-jazzman (played by Broadway legend Ben Vereen) who inspires George to reconnect with his estranged daughter (Jena Malone). Cinematically stunning and shot in an eloquently observational style, Time Out of Mind is an unforgettable plunge into a world that is all too easily overlooked. (IFC Films)

Without the acting performance that Richard Gere delivers here, I probably wouldn't give this movie any points. Richard Gere is incredible, and it's nice that someone looked at the life of a homeless person without embellishment, but this is such a boring story that otherwise didn't interest me at all, that I almost started despairing. Fortunately, it's over.
