A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Bruce Ingram, Chicago Sun-Times: There's not much story to speak of, but the semi-Iranian hipster feminist vampire romance A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is gorgeous to behold and up to its jugular vein in quirky/spooky atmosphere. Read more
Wesley Morris, Grantland: The expressionist shadows, floating chador, and wilted patriarchy make the whole movie feel forbidden. There's something in the nothing. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: Just when you think you've seen it all-I never really think so, but sometimes it can feel that way-along comes something completely new, or at least something so intriguingly bizarre as to seem completely new. Read more
Guy Lodge, Variety: Ana Lily Amirpour's auspicious debut feature is a sly, slinky vampire romance set in an imaginary Iranian underworld. Read more
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, AV Club: For much of the movie, nothing happens, and it's not the rigorous, locked-in nothing of the long-take art film, but the slow-motion, music-montage nothing of the artsy American indie. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: Like no movie you've ever seen. Read more
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader: For all the visual ambition, this doesn't add up to anything terribly substantial. Read more
Cary Darling, Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com: It's a smart, subversive tip of the hat to everything from American and Italian Westerns to horror movies, Jim Jarmusch, love stories, Iranian traditionalism and rock 'n' roll. Oh, and there's a vampire. Read more
Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly: Just when you thought you'd seen every possible variation on the vampire tale, along comes an Iranian bloodsucker romance set to spaghetti-Western music. Read more
Boyd van Hoeij, Hollywood Reporter: This moody and gorgeous film is finally more about atmosphere and emotions than narrative -- and none the worse for it. Read more
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: In almost every decision the director makes, there is a calculated risk, more heartening each time she takes it. Read more
David Thomson, The New Republic: This is a dream on your screen, absurd, languid (if not slow), and possessed by the calm of an inevitable beauty. This is what cinema was invented for. Read more
Richard Brody, New Yorker: Amirpour's wide-screen, high-contrast black-and-white images heighten the familiar mood of low-rent high style, but her greater gift is choreographic ... Read more
Tomas Hachard, NPR: Girl Walks Home manages to be a wholly original work while containing nary a unique thought or idea. Read more
Jordan Hoffman, New York Daily News: It's not every day you can use the phrase "Iranian vampire western," but that's the best way to describe this surreal black-and-white film. Read more
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: Even as Ms. Amirpour draws heavily from various bodies of work with vampirelike hunger, she gives her influences new life by channeling them through other cultural forms, including her chador-cloaked vampire. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: Cool, supremely confident ... Read more
David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle: "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night" is a wildly inventive Iranian vampire movie that grabs you by the throat with its dark, moody style, pulsating soundtrack and offbeat love story. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The film, with references to New Wave revenge thrillers and stylized pop soundtracks, gradually takes its time but doesn't outlast its welcome. Read more
Kiva Reardon, Globe and Mail: Combing horror, film noir and westerns, Ana Lily Amirpour's debut feature, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, is a refreshing take on vampire lore. Read more
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out: The plot's tired blood is jumped up considerably by style; all in all, it's an intoxicating blend of eerie horror and '80s pop, made by an artist to keep an eye on. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: Ana Lily Amirpour's feature debut could become a totem for a hipster world mad for jukebox funkiness, vampires, and gender-politics righteousness. Read more
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture: It may not be deep. But dear lord, is this movie gorgeous. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: It's a haunting story of love between two misfits who shouldn't be together. Read more
