Reviews for After Midnight
...it threatens to sink into the sentimental bog of a Cinema Paradiso, but it’s short enough and sharp enough to stay afloat
04/21/05
A movie that longs for a return to a cinema that, rather than marketing, merchandise and corporate synergy, is about the mysteries that flicker to life after the lights go down.
06/24/05
A pleasure to behold and one any lover of cinema would be wise to keep on their radar of films to seek out.
12/01/04
There's plenty here to delight cinephiles.
08/05/05
It has a droll sensibility but is marred by dirge-like pacing.
04/21/05
Top CriticAfter Midnight is captivating in its renegade freedom, but doesn't provide far-reaching vision.
04/21/05
Charming if slight.

Top CriticA girl, a boy and a few days among reels of film: For a cinema lover it is heaven in celluloid.
02/18/05
A beautiful and beguiling film about love, cinema, and love of cinema...has the quirky, breezy quality of a bicycle ride by night.
03/20/05
Reveals an immense gift for storytelling that blends sentimental quirkiness with wry satire.
03/30/07
A loving tribute to the moving image.
12/03/04
Davide Ferrario -- who is also a film critic -- has a clear idea what movie love should look like, and almost none at all about real love.
03/24/05
Top CriticThis impassioned yet somewhat too precious fable from writer-director Davide Ferrario feels calculated to make a cineaste swoon, and yet . . . it never quite does.
04/21/05
So taken with its own love of cinema, it forgets to lead you down the necessary dramaturgical path to make you fall in love, too.
06/24/05
Top CriticUltimately sinks under the weight of its often pretentious quirkiness, but it does offer some pleasures along the way, especially for nostalgia-minded cinephiles.
12/21/04
On its surface, this slight, light, Italian comedy about cinephilia emits the kind of whimsical vapors that give whimsy a bad name.
12/02/04
Top CriticWeighed down by annoyingly precious voice-over narration ... and a few more precious conceits than any lighter-than-air love story should be asked to support.
12/03/04
Ferrario has fun with antique footage and exhibits from the museum, but there's a lack of urgency or sufficient charm to engage auds.
12/21/04
A whimsical romantic comedy served with a heaping tablespoon of sugar.
