Leave your thoughts about The Sisterhood of Night.
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenThe film is so unusually moving and penetrating because it refuses to cloud its emotions in distancing irony, anger, or nihilism. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldIt's not quite The Crucible, but this Sisterhood works, creating a bit of poignant witchcraft of its own. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonagh...a sadly obvious and pedantic exercise in making a classic story "relevant" to modern audiences. |
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsA daunting test of teen loyalty by way of an Electronic Age equivalent of a Salem witch hunt. |
| PatheosPeg AloiThe uplifting ending is not necessarily in keeping with Millhauser's pensive, downbeat tone. But it's a hard-won redemption that trumpets exuberantly in favor of young womanhood's need for shouting, singing and silence in equal measure. |
| TheWrapInkoo KangThe Sisterhood of Night is too messy to qualify as a great film, especially when it begins introducing, in passing, peripheral characters who survived rape and incest, but it certainly isn’t muddled. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Sisterhood of Night doesn't fully live up to its promise, with its themes never quite coming into focus. But along the way it presents a vivid depiction of teen angst that feels far realer than the usual exploitive Hollywood treatment. |
| The New York TimesKen JaworowskiEven with sections recalling both “The Crucible” and an “Afterschool Special,” it still fashions a story that’s fairly fresh and often absorbing. |
| Paste MagazineTom MeekAt its core, Sisterhood wants to be about reaching out and getting beyond the walls of misperception and miscommunication, but if you play too many shell games, finding that heart goes from being a genuine emotional odyssey to a cheap parlor trick. |
| The DissolveTasha RobinsonAs silly as it is, Sisterhood is smart as well, about the modern draw of victimization and attention, and how people (not just girls, and not just teenagers) who live life on a perpetually scrolling online stage can become starved for validation in any form. |
