It’s not an unbearable film, but it’s not a particularly consequential one either, despite the boldness of its themes.

Rated: 2/4

The central connection is palpable, speaking yet again to the talents of the film‘s two leads, but the queerness that beats at the heart of it is often vaguer than it needs to be, just a silhouette in the night rather than a shadow play of outright desire

Rated: B-

Han and DP Matthias Delvaux crafted a visually enticing environment for their film, and the neon-lit nights help differentiate Green Night from similar lesbian romances.

Rated: 7/10
