Dark Night (2016)
4/10
A cerebral film that tries to be a modern telling of Harmony Korine's Gummo and a mixtape of Terrence Malick's current work
2 May 2019
Dark Night tries to grasp at a lot of straws in it's modest runtime, and aims it's sights into the heart of America's current problems. It's slow pacing only adds to the themes presented, yet makes the viewer ask for more in the array of abstract characters and locations. The film could be construed as a form of performance art rather than a motion picture. The lack of clear goals and characters make it a thinly veiled film that feels hollow and begging to seek attention onto it's mirroring of realism.

Four out of ten stars.
