One Night

Just in time for Valentine's Day, I came across this wonderfully charming film that presents a realistic portrayal of love that viewers can identify with. 1 Night's central characters are believable and relatable, which allows us to become invested in the story and the authentic chemistry between the two couples. The dialogue is sharp, and the ending (unlike a lot of romantic films) is truly thought provoking. Each of the four lead actors, whom normally work less dramatic roles, deliver fantastic performances, proving that they are forces to be reckoned with in Hollywood. I thought the cinematography was top-notch, and the film's use of warm lighting creates a relaxing atmosphere. 1 Night is a wonderful commentary of love, life, and personal growth, making it a choice selection for this Valentine's Day.

1Night is not your average romance movie. I expected to see a traditional, slightly cliché story of an unlikely couple falling for each other at prom, however this wasn't the case. 1Night offered a refreshing look at relationships over time. While this film technically only spans "one night", the contrasts shown between the younger and older couple's relationships in the sense of years left a big impact. At a few parts this film was hilarious in a cute and quirky way, however 1Night really shined when comparing the hurtful rawness of mature love with the sweet tenderness of new love. Without giving away spoilers, the aspect of time in this movie played a larger role than expected and in a way caused 1Night to really stand out among other romantic dramas. Furthermore, this strong plot was impressively acted out by Justin Chatwin (Shameless) and Anna Camp (Pitch Perfect), alongside newcomers Isabella Fuhrman (The Ring) and "Heath Ledger doppelganger" Kyle Allen. With hard hitting monologues and cute one liners from both sides, leaving the theater with dry eyes is a struggle. In conclusion,this creative Indie flick pulls at your heart strings in a big way while supported by a strong cast with familiar faces.

This film tells the story of a grown up couple and a teenage couple, who go through a night of rocky relationships in a hotel in Los Angeles. They try very hard to figure things out, and go through a plethora of thoughts and emotions.

"One Night" is a low budget film that consists of basically non stop talking. The pace is very slow, and there is not much else happening. It reminds me of single location films where characters just talk all the time without doing anything else, though "One Night" is not that extreme. The problem is that the dialogs are not really realistic. People don't talk that poetically on a daily basis. I honestly have never hears anyone use the word peons in daily conversation. To sum up, I find "One Night" rather uneventful and lacking in engagement.

The film was unknown to me, so I decided to watch it. The film was very good and the acting of the four leads was quality and believable. The ending carried a great twist. I enjoyed and recommend to all.

A film like 1 Night comes along every now and then and surprises me on how much more territory the romance genre has left to offer film goers. We live an era where moviegoers want lust, like Fifty Shades Darker. But that message is blank and meaningless. A film like 1 Night has dignity and intelligence that drives the romance of the film. Instead of skin flick, we have a smart flick. The acting is natural and honest. No kinky billionaires here. Common people are the characters and that allows the story and the audience to empathize and put themselves in the character's shoes. The film succeeds in laying all of its cards on the table to give rare, romantic sincerity to the narrative and dialogue. But there are several surprises up its sleeve that guarantee a grander mosaic and deeper message that will surely invite all to a gleefully welcomed second viewing. The message is clear: Romance never dies, it's transcendent.
