The Time It Takes (Italian: Il tempo che ci vuole) is a 2024 Italian-French drama film directed by Francesca Comencini.

[13] Damiano Panattoni of Movieplayer.it gave the film three-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Intimate and very sweet, Francesca Comencini's tribute has the ability to speak to the public thanks to the universality of a private story in which one can find oneself, between gestures, words, silences, hugs.

"[14] Federico Pontiggia of Cinematografo.it gave the film two-and-a-half out of five stars, calling it "a touching and perfectible pas de deux", but criticizing its narrative structure.

[15] Giulio Zoppello of Today rated the film 6.5 out of 10 and wrote "Il tempo che ci vuole is a coherent film but perhaps something is missing, above all the ability from the middle onwards to develop a story that is more than just images, it is as if there were a missing part, a segment that has not been offered to us.

However, in its ability to be incredibly intimate, in the disenchantment with which Francesca Comencini speaks of herself, of that difficult past, net of a slightly cloying ending, there is a lot of vitality".
