Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Loktev creates a minimalist study of unfathomable faith.

rotten:
Unfortunately this portrait of a young woman on the eve of her first terrorist foray -- a bombing of Times Square -- replaces the knee-jerk patriotic bluster of Hollywood films with its own postmodern cliches.

rotten:
All in all, it's a creepy subject for a movie -- especially when there is no payoff at the end.

rotten:
Efforts to universalize this story by avoiding specifics ends up making Day Night Day Night broad and blank, reducing the lead character to one more generic nutcase for us to fear and pity. And isn't the anonymity of bombers precisely the problem?

rotten:
Day Night Day Night brings plenty of shakycam immediacy and a cute face to what seems to be zero point of view.
