Leave your thoughts about Night Catches Us.
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chaseworks in maddening shades of gray and pure, compelling lyricism to tell a tragic story about events that are neither right nor wrong, but somewhere in between |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonAn excellent achievement for its ability to weave so many complex themes and shades of gray with such poise. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowFebruary 1, 2011 Writer-director Tanya Hamilton and two of today's most gifted actors have produced a sensitive drama with a powerful conclusion. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirHamilton will no doubt make more polished movies, but this one has unusual atmosphere and emotional depth, and tackles subject matter no mainstream American film would touch without Hazmat equipment. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA gritty urban race relation pic set in the simmering summer streets of Philadelphia. |
| Reel Talk OnlineCandice FrederickNight Catches Us shouldn't be confused for something as blanket as "that black panther movie" or even a political movie, but more like a story about what it really takes to move on when you're so stuck on here. |
| TheLoop21.comKam WilliamsA Prodigal Panther pays the price to make peace with a turbulent past. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottMs. Hamilton tells a modest, complex story with admirable clarity and nuance. That her film is so quiet, so evidently invested in contemplation rather than confrontation, gives it power as well as insight. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumWriter-director Tanya Hamilton's intellectually ambitious debut drama Night Catches Us is all the more notable for setting well-drawn fictional characters in a fraught, real moment in civil rights history. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyMaking a remarkable feature debut, Hamilton distinguishes herself more as a filmmaker than as a screenwriter. While she elicits smoldering performances from Mackie and Washington, the movie around them is rather diffuse. |
