- 70Village VoiceSam WeisbergVillage VoiceSam WeisbergWhat's fresh is Weinstock's interweaving of flashbacks, slightly altered versions of flashbacks, and flashbacks within flashbacks, so that viewers must work as hard as Lee to determine past from present.
- 40The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergDisorientation is a double-edged sword, especially when the ostensible reorientation is as unsatisfying as it is here.
- 40VarietyRonnie ScheibVarietyRonnie ScheibThe film continually resists coherence or synthesis, with puzzles left unresolved amid multiplying possibilities and highly repetitive flashbacks, yielding a mystery that wearies rather than intrigues.
- 30Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyLos Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyThe Moment is a psychological thriller more muddled than the mind and the maze it is caught up in.
- 20New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThe story itself is fairly straightforward, but lands with a thud.
- 0Slant MagazineDiego SemereneSlant MagazineDiego SemereneThe film is a hybrid of a Lifetime movie focused on a "strong woman," a run-of-the-mill murder mystery, and a yogurt commercial from hell.
- 0The DissolveDavid EhrlichThe DissolveDavid EhrlichThe Moment is a stilted, asinine Hitchcockian exercise that ultimately serves as little more—and often considerably less—than a needless reminder of how difficult it is to execute this kind of material.
