Pauline Kael The New Republic A Gothic tale about decadence and impotence, combining the worst of Fellini with the worst of Bergman, and featuring the kind of depraved upper-class partying at which the question “Don’t you wish you were dead?” is answered by “I’m dead already.” Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Bosley Crowther New York Times [Mai Zetterling] has skill and an eye for color in creating visual images. But she takes us through a chamber of horrors without shedding any real light in Night Games. Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times It is a film made entirely in the mind, as if the heart were no concern, and it can be seen that way -- as a cold, aloof study of human neurosis. But not for a moment did I care about any of the characters. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com "Night Games" retains its ability to shock viewers after over 50 years due to Mai Zetterling's intuitive ability to dig equally into male and female psyche, while keeping an artistic distance. Rated: FIVE STARS Nov 5, 2023 Full Review Robert Hatch The Nation Horrification is a delicate theatrical operation; overcook it ever so little and it curdles into slapstick. That is the accident that occurred to Night Games. Nov 23, 2020 Full Review Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press It is obvious and depressing and when not depressing it is unintentionally funny.
