The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed is a 2023 American comedy film, written by, directed by, and starring Joanna Arnow.

It also stars Scott Cohen, Babak Tafti, Arnow, Michael Cyril Creighton and Alysia Reiner.

She begins seeing Thomas, a younger man who composes scores for children's films, though that relationship quickly peters out when he gets back together with his ex.

Initially, this appeals to Ann, but he doesn't like that she requires aftercare after their sessions, and she gets bored of his attempts at public humiliation.

Her dad tries to play the guitar and sing while she's trying to read, and her mother gets snippy anytime Ann talks back.

The website's consensus reads: "Joanna Arnow finds bleak humor in the struggle to connect with The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed, a deadpan comedy that discomfits as confidently as it amuses.

"[13] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 77 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.
