Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
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.

rotten:
When Night is Falling has too many unintended laughs for its passion to be convincing.
– Roger Ebert,

fresh:
Rozema is a fabulist with a strong visual sense, and she creates a distinctive, enclosed world to illustrate Camille's odyssey.

rotten:
Symbols are supposed to be subtle, but Rozema is intent upon bludgeoning the audience with them.
