Leave your thoughts about When Night Is Falling.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe film is intelligent, sensitive and in its own uniquely quiet way quite a delicious treat. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliSymbols are supposed to be subtle, but Rozema is intent upon bludgeoning the audience with them. |
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsA well-done portrait of a person who has to come to grips with the fact that love, while a many-splendoured thing, is also extremely unpredictable. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatPowerful film that beautifully choreographs the potencies of sexual desire in a woman who has put too much emphasis upon her mind. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWhen Night is Falling has too many unintended laughs for its passion to be convincing. |
| Los Angeles TimesJack MathewsIt is so focused on its own boldness, its dare-to-shock sensuality (the film got an NC-17 from the MPAA, but is being released unrated), that nothing else comes through. |
| User ReviewFiona AApart from anything else, this film is a visual feast. Particularly during the love scene when the camera cuts to the trapeze artists-beautifully choreographed and conceived. The story is tender and touches on some of the issues faced by conservative Christians in relation to gay folk. I found this film resonated greatly for me personally and maybe that's why I've given it five stars. Taking that into account, I'd still give it at least four! |
