Night Owls

I like a lot this kind of movies, i mean, one-location movies which are taken place in a short period. Dialogue driven dramas or dramedies, like stage plays. These movies are giving the opportunity to the actors to shine, as long as there is a good script, otherwise it's a double-edged sword and they might get exposed.

NIGHT OWLS could be better, but it could be also worse. Script is not that interesting and the dialogue seems forced at times. However, it was not boring either and there were many intriguing moments that made me empathise with these characters. I can tell for sure that this is not a MUST WATCH movie, i can't recommend it, there are far better movies to spend your time. But if you like this specific genre, you won't be dissapointed. After all, it's well acted and these characters have a little depth.

And the ending is probably the best part of this movie.

Saw the reviews for this title, and figured it was worth a shot. Seemed like most people really enjoyed it, but I have to wonder what movie they were watching or how authentic all these positive reviews are. This is a very, very lo-fi / micro budget movie with somewhat charming writing, but that's about it. The cast gives it their best, but with only two real characters and literally one location for the entire movie, you quickly realize this is a premise movie that allowed the filmmakers the ability to make a movie for nothing and not much else.

A one night stand with an agenda. Both actors are excellent--combining great physical comedy with characters who are interesting and real.

On the surface this is a movie about jealousy and revenge but within that shell we get to know two people who fall into the category of those that get used and one character, who is not present until the last scene, who is a master at using.

As soon as I saw this i started looking for other films with Rosa Salazar. This is the only thing I found that showcases her substantial acting chops.

If I'm fair Adam Pally is just as good as Salazar but being a guy I was slightly more captivated by her.

If you can enjoy a movie without guns, super heroes or car chases you should check this out. You don't have to be a hopeless romantic but it would probably help.

The mixture of slapstick humour and seriousness isn't always blended that well. There is some good awkward realism though. The main guy is a beta-male dude who is generally well meaning despite being a bit fearful and judgemental. The girl is - I think - what they call a 'hot mess'. She mixes cynical and righteous anger with goofy wildness.

Not a Hollywood explosion-type of film, if you want that, go else-where. This film was a surprise, the log-line caught us enough to stick it on one evening - last night, with no expectations.

Right off-the-bat the situation isn't quite right, which piqued curiosity and draws you in. As it progresses quite quickly the characters become more and more engaging, more and more real, very well acted by the two relative unknowns, absolutely understanding the depth and identity of the characters they portray.

From a writing and directing standpoint, these guys absolutely nailed the complexity of people, and managed to do a 'one-location film' completely believably without drawing attention to that fact, brilliant and smart filmmaking.

This is a very entertaining and refreshingly different relationship film, and thank god for it, absolute praise from me, they know what they're doing.
