What does feel unique about The Overnight is the way it shows two different married couples opening up about modern sexuality, fidelity, and their desires, all of which are addressed here within their marriages and outside of them.

| Jan 28, 2021

A cross between 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf' and 'Score,' the eyebrow-raising sexual possibilities complimented by real considerations of martial desire and "curiosity."

Brice goes a bit too broad at times, but he keeps things just funny and edgy and open enough for "The Overnight" to work.

| Original Score: B | Jul 3, 2015

"The Overnight" isn't much - in fact, it's hardly anything. For what it is, though, it's enough.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 2, 2015

It's a short film, weighing in at 79 minutes, but that feels about right. You probably wouldn't want to spend a lot more time with these folks, no matter how intriguing their company.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 2, 2015

Brice keeps a forgiving eye on his characters' foibles, teasing rather eviscerating them to unexpectedly sympathetic ends.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 28, 2015

This very wry, LA-set adult comedy plays like a junior, low-budget version of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 26, 2015

There are plenty of cathartic home truths here and no shortage of amusing moments, but it's hardly subversive filmmaking.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 26, 2015

In its best moments, The Overnight deviates from the conventions of a party movie (or "sex comedy," as it has been christened) and veers toward the experimental, the uncanny, the unsettling.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 26, 2015

Unfortunately, their largely improvised dialogue is not enough to sustain even the meagre 79-minute running time.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 26, 2015

What makes The Overnight work as well as it does is the cast. The performances here are truly fearless and engaging, with Schwartzman and Scott in particular in high gear.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 25, 2015

Attitudes are adjusted along with clothing, with all four main actors happily delivering more than Brice's uneven script and sitcomish directing asks of them.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 25, 2015

[An] uncomfortably perceptive sex comedy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 25, 2015

The delivery is unorthodox. You might think you know what's coming, but then comes another curveball that catches you by surprise. You're kept guessing throughout - and it's a real kick when you're wrong yet again.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.0 | Jun 25, 2015

As clothes are shed and secrets come to light, it all becomes ... alas, a very odd combination of squirm-inducing and dull.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 25, 2015

Here's an amiably goofy, if dramatically thin comedy of swinging sexual manners.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 25, 2015

[An] unpredictable indie comedy -- sort of a "Who's Afraid of Virginia Kink?"

| Jun 25, 2015

This often ribald, ultimately thoughtful comedy of social and sexual manners may not aim particularly high, but it hits a singular mark nonetheless.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 25, 2015

No matter how hard the film tries to challenge bourgeois notions of wedded bliss, it's all so very civilized.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 25, 2015

The Overnight is horribly funny and gets more so: titillating and terrifying in equal measure.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 25, 2015
