... the film, shot in high-contrast black-and-white widescreen almost entirely at night, is like an Iranian film noir by way of a crime drama with supernatural edges.

Brings together a number of unique perspectives on the vampire genre, with its style and aesthetic elevating the narrative twists to the subgenre's redundant lore.

Proof you can still do something cool, strange, sexy, and intriguing with vampires.

'A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night' is as irregular - trend towards repetition - as fascinating - her powerful aesthetics -, and has a great asset in its leading actress. [Full Review in Spanish]

More of a feeling and a mood than a definitive story, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night belongs on a shortlist of modern and effective vampire films.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 12, 2019

Amirpour asserts her own singular voice with such staggering confidence that the film is impossible to ignore.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 7, 2019

This is what originality looks like.

It has visual echoes of early Jarmusch and Lynch. It's stunning to look at, slow paced, moody and haunting - an original feminist reinterpretation of vampire mythology and its gender politics.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 3, 2019

This mix of old and new, along with the combination of sexy and cool wouldn't be possible without The Girl herself, brought to life... by Sheila Vand.

Writer/director Ana Lily Amirpour makes A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night feel effortless and almost even inevitable. Not to mention as cool as anything has been since Pulp Fiction hit.

It's easy to engage with a movie whose makers know exactly what they want to show us and who are so sure-handed, even if the overall subject matter is familiar.

| Original Score: B+ | Jan 8, 2019

It's impressive to evoke two different feelings from your audience at all times...one of the most visually-impressive movies I've seen this year.

I'm going out on a limb and saying that never before has the use of black and white photography, a film's music, or the use of a cat- yes, cat- been put to better use than in A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night.

"A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night" is one of the most beautiful vampire films I've ever seen and an incredible debut feature for Ana Lily Amirpour.

| Oct 24, 2018

Shot in dreamy, lush black-and-white and full of long silences, it's a story about two loners connecting despite themselves.
