Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times The aesthetic is just right, but it's a bit too obtuse, mannered and affected to sink its hooks into you, and it keeps the audience at arms' length. Apr 6, 2018 Full Review Scott Tobias Variety There's something doggedly amateurish about "Los Angeles Overnight" that sullies its contribution to the L.A. noir tradition, like the film is a conspicuous dress-up version of the real thing. Mar 28, 2018 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter The film doesn't succeed in its ambition to infuse noir tropes with originality. Mar 10, 2018 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat Los Angeles Overnight gets a lot right with excellent cinematography and engaging editing, all expertly acted, but it lacks clarity, tries too hard with its dialogue, and the characterizations are murky at best.

Audience Member Someone is still making great movie. Thank you! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie. Loved the way it sways from dark to light style of filming... Really well done, good to see a movie that's different like this again. Some scenes and set designs made me feel like I was watching an Oliver stone movie. Impossible to predict this film and it had me tied to the screen from the very first frame to the very last (not often I find a movie as good as that anymore) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Pulls you in to a narrative of working towards hopes and dreams with a surprisingly sinister undercurrent. Beautifully shot and darkly humorous. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved the movie. It was great to see a film that was quirky, dark, full of twists and turns. It really reminded me of a modern day Alfred Hitchcock movie. The star for me was Elsa, she was ruthless, firce and full of sass. If you want a movie with that's a different from the norm with plenty of twists and turns, this is the movie for you. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved watching this beautiful film so much I had to watch it twice! The setting is the gritty side of LA, the characters are great, quirky, interesting, and the settings are not the glamorous LA but the less beautiful LA. The story is told very well. Your taken into the the story, with a Hitchcock feel and one really gets to understand how hard it is to Make It in Hollywood. How awful it is to be turned down by casting directors who control who will make it and who will not. I truly enjoyed the casting director, who I was not familiar with, played superbly by JamieLee Ackerman. She gives you the feel for how mighty, evil, overpowering, overbearing these casting directors can be. She put fear and desperation into the actors trying to get chosen by her. I wish I had seen more of her in the movie. Priscilla, the lead played wonderfully by Arielle Brachfeld, is trying to make it in Hollywood and will stop at nothing. She keeps getting turned down, can't make ends meet at her waitress job and goes way way over the line - don't want to spoil it for you, but she never gives up no mater what. Lin Shay is great in this movie as is Peter Bagdanovich. This film is destined to be a cult classic, I truly enjoyed it. I give it 5 stars! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This indie film is weird, intense and unusual. It definitely fits into the dark noir category. Starts out as the simple story of an aspiring actress just trying to make ends meet and blossoms into an off-beat kind of crime story thriller. The characters are quirky and unusual. The protagonist, Priscilla, is played by Arielle Brachfeld. She plays an aspiring actress who will literally stop at nothing to get ahead. The casting director, Elsa, is a rude, brutally offensive character and is well played by JamieLee Ackerman. This movie definitely has the right ingredients to become a cult film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
