“The Night Clerk” is an enigma in itself. It’s hard to gauge its convictions or tell where it lands.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 24, 2022

The Night Clerk is quite the refreshing film experience. Full of intrigue and totally engrossing, the film seems to do the very most with the bare essentials.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 26, 2020

The Night Clerk is a big, flat dud.

| Jun 15, 2020

For a crime thriller, it's a problem when there's nothing thrilling, and it barely cares about the crime. Its main crime is a great cast, wasted.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 8, 2020

Sometimes all it takes to hinder a production from reaching its true potential is an ill-conceived script, as is the case with this affair.

| May 11, 2020

Puts just enough creep and suspicion into this predicament to stir plenty of conjecture worth hanging around to figure out.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 10, 2020

Not only that; the film lacks rising tension - there are too many lulls in the action to keep the suspense going.

Tye Sheridan, in an unusual role, plays Bart well as a tech savvy young man with Asperger's syndrome. The young actor obviously studied well and is convincing. But is this film?

| Feb 28, 2020

It's difficult, if not impossible, to imagine a more tedious, tiresome, more lifeless attempt at a neo-noir thriller.

| Feb 28, 2020

Not too many discernible thrills.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 28, 2020

The Night Clerk brings on the thrills as it unravels in interesting ways. I wish the excitement could have reached a level ten, but it only goes to a seven, which, ironically, is its score.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 28, 2020

Yeah, The Night Clerk is awful.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Feb 27, 2020

This crime drama with emotionally touching performances is surprisingly low-key and quiet, taking advantage of the wee hours of the dark during which much of the story takes place.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 27, 2020

This is a bargain bin, dollar store, thriller at best and will likely show up on a trivia card in the next decade asking which rising star (De Armes) found herself in a big fat dud circa 2020.

| Original Score: C- | Feb 25, 2020

As a mystery...comes across as rather flaccid and unfocused. But thanks to Sheridan, it can be appreciated as a character study.

| Original Score: C | Feb 24, 2020

[Tye] Sheridan's deft portrayal of someone "on the spectrum" takes us into an interior world previously unknown to us and by the end of the film, we have emotionally connected with him.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 24, 2020

A well-acted noir drama that pays more attention to characters than the plot, for better or worse. [Full review in Spanish]

| Feb 23, 2020

An uninspired, anemic, dumb and suspense-free thriller with no style nor substance.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 23, 2020

A strong cast can't elevate this character-driven thriller beyond its derivative genre trappings.

| Feb 22, 2020

For an alleged psychological thriller, The Night Clerk has no thrills, suspense or tension.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 21, 2020
