Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Even at the start of his career, Van Sant has always been an artist who has savored the bittersweet pleasure of sadness and pain.
– Rene Rodriguez,

fresh:
Of all Van Sant's movies, Mala Noche is the rawest, most personal, and least freighted. It's the one fans should see for the simplest inkling into Van Sant's complex artistic roots.

fresh:
Van Sant would later refine some of the blunter stylistic turns into a wondrous visual poetry; his ability to capture the addictive pull of desire, however, remains compelling even in its crudest state.

fresh:
Underseen but not exactly neglected, Mala Noche isn't in the same league as the recent smash IFC revival of Killer of Sheep. But this small, sensitive, wondrously likable debut occupies a nearby nook in the DIY pantheon.

fresh:
Offbeat, offhand, and at times off-the-wall.
