Leave your thoughts about The Night Clerk.
| Film ThreatAlan NgAs far as thrillers go, The Night Clerk is a little light on thrills. That said, there are more interesting things going on, which makes the film worth watching. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenThose anticipating something more traditionally calibrated will likely be disappointed with the film’s muted thrills and noncommittal denouement, but the elegantly composed film nevertheless makes for a creepy, contemplative entry in the Cristofer canon. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreIf The Night Clerk rises above “near miss” status, that’s thanks to the cast. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe results aren't fully satisfying on any level, despite a terrific cast that includes rising star Ana de Armas (Knives Out), soon to be seen in the upcoming James Bond film "No Time to Die." |
| VarietyLisa KennedySheridan and de Armas’s scenes together leave an impression long after the rest of the movie evaporates. |
| New York PostSara StewartUsing autism as a plot device walks a fine line between empathetic and exploitative, and The Night Clerk is wobbly in that respect. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakSheridan lends his role the necessary nuance it deserves and de Armas imbues hers with a wealth of unspoken pain, but neither effort receives its payoff. The film conversely squanders both instead. |
| The A.V. ClubKatie RifeThe Night Clerk will be remembered, if at all, as a movie de Armas was way too good for — an unfortunate mile marker on her road to movie stardom. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoInert to such a degree that one wonders if the film has been slowed down, The Night Clerk doesn’t really go anywhere, truly disappointing for how much it wastes the talents of its young stars on a movie that doesn’t deserve them. |
| The PlaylistChristian GallichioDespite featuring an intriguing set-up and good cast, The Night Clerk offers nothing new to the genre, predictably hitting the same beats, without variation. |
