Guardian

Escalante’s storytelling vigour and his way with an unsettling image keep this film’s voltage high.

Rated: 3/5

The Hollywood Reporter

For a director who, in films like Heli and The Untamed, has kept our eyes wide open with sadism, sex and truly weird sci-fi, Lost in the Night marks a disappointingly conventional swerve.

Pop Culture Reviews

Despite its gutsy opening, which is able to quickly grab the attention of viewers, the momentum established early on fizzles out just as rapidly.

Rated: 2.5/5

Common Sense Media

Viewers expecting a traditional thriller might be disappointed by the film's existential musings, but with an open mind, they will be rewarded with Escalante's unique approach to cinema.

A masterpiece! Saw. the film last night at the Festival du Nouveau cinéma in Montréal. Amat Escalante delivers one of his best film, a satirical drama-thriller, set in Guanajuato in Mexico. A captivating movie that surprises us.
