Reviews for When Night Is Falling
When compared to such incisive lesbian dramas as Lianna and Desert Hearts, Rozema's effort seems flat and banal.

When Night is Falling has too many unintended laughs for its passion to be convincing.

Top CriticThose looking for an earnest depiction (and one that doesn’t wallow in the seemingly inherent ‘leering’ of similar films), it’s probably worthy of a look.

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.

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.

Top CriticAll the performances are excellent.

Powerful film that beautifully choreographs the potencies of sexual desire in a woman who has put too much emphasis upon her mind.
