Redefining one's life

Don't Let the Night End is a beautiful and subtle film in the style of early Godard. On one level it's a slow burn romance but it is also a character study in loss and shifting goals. Subtle motifs are the broken phone, the missing cat, the rigidness of origami as Mia struggles to put her life back together and find meaning. The performances are very nuanced and naturalistic. The photography is lovely and music beautifully accompanies its protagonist's melancholy.

Uplifting and inspiring

Just loved that heartfelt story of second chances and restart. Beautifully told by Galia Barkol.

Real yet wonderfully charming

A story that feels real but still radiates charm is a rare and welcome combination. This is a really well done film. Beautifully shot, intelligent, naturalistic, wonderfully acted. It's unhurried and very relatable. Especially for anyone who has gone through a challenging life transition... meaning of course, all of us. I strongly recommend this movie!

Lyrical and moving

Running at a pensive pace, which gives the story time to breathe and land with its full weight, this lyrical and moving study of a woman trying to find her life's meaning and purpose has much resonance for today's audience. Your heart breaks for her when she makes her decision and you can see that she could have chosen better for herself. Definitely worth a look.

Contemplative and sensitive

A leisurely, contemplative and sensitive study of a woman who is not sure of what she wants in her life, thinking back to what she had and what the future might be, meanwhile settling for something unfulfilling.
