There are Pros and Cons to every friendship

Nicole Stevens (Tessa Thompson), a hardworking, single woman who lives with and cares for her aging mother (Whoopi Goldberg) and works part-time at a local jail, gets the chance to prove herself when she is tasked with accompanying Joan Anderson (Melissa Leo), a free-spirited and unruly prisoner, on an emergency furlough to visit her dying mother. Their 36-hour journey goes hilariously – and also movingly – awry, as the two women become, against all odds, the unlikeliest of friends. With a supporting cast that includes Academy Award winner Anna Paquin and Edgar Ramirez, Time Out is a trip not to be missed.

Critic Review:

• " Furlough is funny and active, remaining compelling while it details small acts of connection and evasion. " – Brian Orndorf (Blu-ray.com)
