Leave your thoughts about Lights in the Dusk.
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesKaurismaki creates some beautiful frames, carefully composing his affectless characters against the rooms' colors, but there's something wrong with your story when people are upstaged by the decor. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewKaurismäki's delightfully delicate cautionary fable charts his unassuming hero's descent into an unforeseen nightmare of deceit and violence with a characteristically low-key blend of humane compassion and deadpan mordant humour. |
| Filmcritic.comChris Cabindumbfounding the audience once again, mixing the metaphysical with the meanderingly amusing. |
| Los Angeles CityBeatAndy KleinThere is an admirable rigor here and even a brief touch of sunshine, but almost none of the humor that marks [Kaurismaki's] best work. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonA wholly satisfying comic-existential bit of fluff. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonIgnore accusations that this is sluggish and inconsequential. This is textbook Kaurismäki, from its drolly laconic style to its delicious cinematic nostalgia. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghKaurismäki is self-consciously tapping into the raw pathos of an earlier time in cinema (the pain and loss that often accompanied Charles Chaplin's Little Tramp, for example). The idea works, though it is finally wearing. |
| New York PressArmond WhiteThe downbeat tone of Lights in the Dusk just escapes offense and self-parody due to Kaurismäki's careful, subtle craftsmanship. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawIf you're a fan of Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki's deadpan comedy world, then his latest piece of controlled, semi-stylised whimsy will be right up your alley. |
| Uruguay TotalEnrique BuchichioUn relato crudo, probablemente desconcertante y extrañamente tragicómico, sólo para seguidores incondicionales del director, que repite su estilo sin sorpresas. |
