Critic Reviews for When Night Is Falling
All Critics (16) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (8)
It 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.
When Night is Falling has too many unintended laughs for its passion to be convincing.
Symbols are supposed to be subtle, but Rozema is intent upon bludgeoning the audience with them.
Rozema is a fabulist with a strong visual sense, and she creates a distinctive, enclosed world to illustrate Camille's odyssey.
The film is intelligent, sensitive and in its own uniquely quiet way quite a delicious treat.
A 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.
Audience Reviews for When Night Is Falling
A beautiful and touching film from Patricia Rozema and one of my favourite Canadian films. What makes it a classic however is the epic performance of Tom Melissis as Hang Glider #2.
Super Reviewer
It is good, entertaining and even sexy. But there isn't much content beyond the unequal romance. However, it's always refreshing to see a likeable, non-psychotic lesbian couple on film. And the actresses have excellent chemistry.
