What follows - walking, talking, flirting, fighting - is a charming piece of low-budget, improv-y filmmaking in the tradition of Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Fresh
An offbeat looking-for-love comedy with enough fresh notes to please even jaded viewers.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

In Search of a Midnight Kiss is a surprising charmer, a wandering modern romantic comedy with enough bittersweet aftertaste to give it substance and enough wit to keep you entertained.
Tom Long, Detroit News

Writer/director Alex Holdridge maintains the intrigue of Wilson and Vivian's dance through a combination of naturalistic dialogue and a magical-realist style.
