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

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.

Little White Lies

Gets tangled up in clever plotting and dramatic hyperbole.

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.
