Once Within a Time is a 2023 American experimental fantasy comedy film written, produced, and directed by Godfrey Reggio and edited and co-directed by Jon Kane.[2] [3]
Sheila O'Malley of RogerEbert.com gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, "Clocking in at 51 minutes, the film is all mood, all rhythm, with a kaleidoscope structure and undulating ever-shifting visuals in a constant state of flux. It's not a 'story' so much as a tone-poem collage about technology, knowledge, innocence/experience, and the potential end of the world. Maybe something new will be born from the ashes, although considering the evidence that something may very well be a monster."[5]
