Observer (UK)

A vrit thriller rich with a sense of location and cultural authenticity.

Little White Lies

This clich-ridden gangland drama at least boasts a clutch of menacing supporting performances.

After the Night is strangely inert.

CineVue

Admirable for its utilisation of real locations as well as some of the real-life inhabitants of Lisbon's Reboleira slum, After the Night is an otherwise unremarkable cat-and-mouse thriller with scant sociopolitical engagement.

Rated: 2/5

Adam Lowes

HeyUGuys

It's hard not to get swept up in the ominous atmosphere the director creates, through both limited resources and his cast of non-professionals.

Rated: 3/5

Simon Kinnear

Total Film

Some half-hearted magic realism paints Sombra as a tragic urban vampire - but da Cunha never fully embraces it. Instead, he settles for an over-familiar gangland saga, deep in hock to City Of God.

Rated: 2/5
