When Time Got Louder (★★☆☆☆) provides a few basics in the guise of a sleekly-produced, low-impact drama delivered by a sincere cast. The bad news is that Cocchia, who wrote and directed, is light on story and heavy on characters who fail to ask key questions or explain things that would avoid a great deal of kerfuffle.When you add sets so bland they look staged by a realtor on a budget, teen bedrooms with less personality than a hotel room, and places with names like Bluewater, Whitestone, and Greenville, things feel a lot like a TV show that’s about to get canceled.
If Cocchia’s point is that the autism experience exists in nameless, faceless Everytown USA, the message never makes it past the uncluttered counters.Cocchia begins her story in a hospital where Kayden, a seriously autistic near-18-year-old, lies injured and unconscious. Out of concern for his and other people’s welfare, a social worker interviews Kayden’s mother Tish, dad Mark, and big sister, Abbie.
Through a series of flashbacks during the interviews, we learn that things have been reasonably stable at home until Abbie left for college. Kayden and his parents have been somewhat struggling to adjust to the absence of his devoted sister, while Abbie has been using her new-found freedom to start dating Karly (played with some charisma by Ava Capri despite the intrusion of a dire syrupy-pop soundtrack).
All serviceable stuff, if nothing that moves the needle.Unfortunately, when it comes to the pivotal flashback that tells us what put Kayden in the hospital, things get so hokey it would make the producers of T.J Hooker blush. Dad Mark has been pushing Kayden to practice his independence by riding the bus into town, following behind in his car.
