As one of the first true climate catastrophe comedies — it details a dinner party hours ahead of the apocalypse — there's little out there to compare [Silent Night] to. It's sure to keep you engaged — assuming you can laugh along to the end of the world.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 16, 2023

Silent Night is not your topical dark comedy as it apocalyptic scenario in the mix that makes for great character conversations and breakdowns. It’s just how the film resolves those questions and moral decisions that makes the 2nd half feel hollow

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 26, 2022

"Silent Night is a darkly funny take on the inevitability of climate collapse and the fecklessness of the world’s powers in the face of combatting a problem of their own making."

At points, Silent Night attempts to address social commentary about climate change, while also poking casual fun at the monarchy, but it never really amounts to anything more than a punchline.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 24, 2022

While Silent Night muses over the thorny prospect of curating a more pleasant death for your loved ones—it also gives its characters room to experience the full range of emotions that come with facing the imminent end.

While Griffin’s direction is savvy and efficient, her script is full of confounding choices that under-serves the characters and squashes the film’s potential.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 16, 2022

Silent Night may not be a cozy new Christmas classic you can share with the whole family, but those who don't mind pitch-black dark humor will have one hell of a time with this acerbic apocalyptic thriller.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jul 14, 2022

About time in this politically polarizing era that someone talks about how we've lowered our guards believing that the only option against pain is pleasure while fools are in charge. [Full review in Spanish]

The generational melodrama is superficial; the romantic comedy, lame; the apocalyptic drama, insubstantial; and the black comedy, resoundingly idiotic. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jun 17, 2022

A brilliantly funny and toxic comedy drama featuring a cast of likeable actors working at the top of their game. Camille Griffin proves that she's one to watch with one of 2021's best films.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 9, 2022

A combination apocalyptic, psychological, existential horror film and black comedy, this one's about as disturbing as they come. Great script, but not for everybody. (RLJE blu-ray review)

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 7, 2022

Silent Night's fatalistic undertow--its commitment to the bit--is something to behold, and the child performers are fantastic...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 3, 2022

While Silent Night clearly will not be for everyone, this dark and messed-up family holiday undeniably leaves an impact and contains an almost masterful script when it comes to blending humor with uncomfortable tragedy.

| Feb 12, 2022

A hard-to-describe Christmas black-comedy-horror film with a unique and deeply terrifying charm. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 18, 2022

Last Night oscillates and sways between moments of accomplished dark humor with that inimitable British touch and others in which it gets a bit obvious and sobering. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 14, 2022

In cinematographic terms the film doesn't have much to offer. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jan 13, 2022

The film may be fresh, but it fails in execution, and it inexpertly underestimates the end of the world, which is something so revered in cinema. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 12, 2022

Where Silent Night loses its way is how it can't bear to follow its own conclusions to their natural ends.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 6, 2022

The result is a fascinating, if not exactly uplifting, or completely compelling watch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2021

Shorter than many family Christmas dinners that do actually feel like the end of the world, Silent Night bounces along until almost the end; beautiful, bitterly funny and bizarrely realistic.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 30, 2021
