Night Raiders Reviews
Night Raiders is visually uninteresting and dramatically underwhelming.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 30, 2022
Solid performances from Tailfeathers and Letexier-Hart can't elevate a script that is neither effective as straight sci-fi nor a subversion of the genre.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 29, 2021
The dystopian sci-fi drama is approached from a fresh perspective in Night Raiders, a deeply-felt parable about the eradication of indigenous North Americans.

While this sort of wan rebellion yarn seems to have been designed with a general audience in mind, there's nothing here that's so culturally specific or emotionally focused as to earn our emotional investment.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 12, 2021
Though set in the near future, this film feels like an urgent warning, illustrating what might happen if a younger generation is cut off from its own history and culture.

The film's use of clichés can also be thrillingly subversive at times, reminding us of the ways in which genre-movie templates borrow from the history of colonization but obscure the plight of its real victims.

Night Raiders should become the most talked-about Canadian film of the year. And for good reason.
