The good news is that Ryder is easily the best thing about Eli Horowitz’s debut feature, a twisty thriller that packs a lot of intelligent ideas into a puzzle structure that, somewhat counterintuitively, takes the viewer’s attention away from them.

This pseudo-genre fare can’t commit to much of anything and, as a result, becomes mostly nothing.

The premise is an overly familiar one, but one that could still work if we hadn't spent half the movie chasing red herrings that would've been a lot more interesting.

Gone in the Night is supposed to be a mystery thriller. But the only baffling mystery is how anyone involved in this tepid and messy dud of a movie thought that it was worth getting made. Winona Ryder fans, you've been warned.

The seed of a good quirky movie is here but it is never nurtured into full growth.

Despite the star performance by Winona Ryder and an intriguing setup, Gone in the Night is destined to fade quickly from our memories.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 20, 2022

It's clear from the start that there's more going on here than meets the eye, and filmmakers Eli Horowitz and Matthew Derby have fun dribbling out enticing clues to the audience.

Lots of cool touches. Visuals. A toying with the viewer’s sense of reality. Some strong performances especially by Tju and Teague.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 20, 2022

Gone in The Night has some great performances, particularly from Ryder, but ultimately the audience may feel cheated by the ambiguous and outlandish finale.

| Jul 18, 2022

As it’s one of the few cinematic offerings from Ryder over the past decade, there’s more to enjoy than not in this odd venture from Horowitz, which at its core is another story about how little anyone really knows about one another.
