Frist of all, the translation of the name of the movie is not 'strange time'. Correct translation should be 'private time'. Oz mean me, so 'time for myself'.
Second to be able to fully understand the movie, the viewer should know a cultural background. Family relations, responsibility etc.
The movie frozen the time and turn black and white. Time still goes, however the main character doesn't feel alive, feeling choked, confuse and disturbed. Try to connect with father, bring back her father to life (he is alive but not connected, in oblivion) and futile efforts take toll from her. And when she feel alive the colour of the movie comes back.
Acting, lights, music, technical aspects are very very good.
The movie took me, my own comfort zone and put me in a position, I challenge myself. I miserably fail, and lost my integrity. That makes this movie very powerful. Expect from this movie: harsh reality of life, nothing more. Which role are we choosing for ourselves? Daughter, father, neighbour, lover. Maybe we are all but running away from our reality.
Overall, If you in art house, yes. If you are looking action, no.
PS: Extended scene of father, boresome repetitive hysteria, deliberately disturb the audience. During the movie, why is the director keep repeating this scene? After movie, I got it. To annoy me, disturb and poke me (or puke).
