Quote of Note: David Edelstein on 'The Clock'

“I’m fairly sure, unless there are scores of movies in which the time is seen to be 11:48 at a given moment, that Marclay was limited by his source material.

Heist movies, time-bomb thrillers, hostage melodramas—the number of them is predictably disproportionate.
