Reception

Alissa Simon of Variety called the film "a fresh and funny chamber piece about midlife marital crises" and wrote: "In addition to the highly relatable situations shot in a style of heightened naturalism and the Robert Altman-like overlapping dialogue, the drama gains further conviction from setting the action in the actual apartment lived in by the director and his wife, who, along with their real-life son, play the host family."[3] The Hollywood Reporter's Boyd van Hoeij wrote: "There's a certain amount of irony in the fact that Hungarian director Szabolcs Hajdu's independently produced It's Not the Time of My Life (Ernellaek Farkaseknal), made without any state aid, turns out to be one of his most conventional features, though it's also one of his most directly moving."[4]

gollark: Doesn't make it *good*

gollark: And bad for most uses!

gollark: Probably the most CPU-matching language is whatever microcode is written in.

gollark: I have no idea. The modern CPUs are probably significantly designed to fit C, at some level...

gollark: Still, the average compiler/interpreter is probably *not* as stupidly complex as CPUs.
