Pauline Kael The New Republic 09/20/2023
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.” Go to Full Review Bosley Crowther New York Times 09/20/2023
[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. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 09/20/2023
2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Pat Padua Washington City Paper May 29

FIVE STARS
"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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
