Actors Adam Pally and Rosa Salazar, who carry the entire film, are not just game for this kind of material, they feel born to it. Their dynamic sparks all over the place.

Rated: 3/4

Meet the fun couple of the year, and watch them go at it tooth and nail.

Los Angeles Times

Manages a simmering romantic-comic tension thanks to an emotionally wise screenplay and a couple of nicely pinging performers.

Moveable Fest

A satisfying entry into the one crazy night genre that never leaves the house, "Night Owls" is one worth staying up for.

Night Owls isn't a typical romantic comedy in any capacity, and it succeeds because the lead actors have such an incredibly genuine chemistry.

Consequence

Moments do drag and there are some questionable wrinkles in either character's arc, but Night Owls is a gratifying subversion of the romantic comedy genre.

I found Night Owls to be a charming, low-key character study with standout performances by Adam Pally and Rosa Salazar. These two had great chemistry together with a satisfying ending. This movie is ideal for fans of talky indie romances.

Normally not a fan of indie films. They're slow, ponderous, self-indulgent and artsy with really annoying piano or guitar scores. But every now and then a masterful one shows up. Night Owls is one of them. The director, Charles Hood is clearly a student of the classic "well made" films of the old masters. In this case, that old master is Billy Wilder and Night Owls is an updated tribute to one of Wilder's best ones, "The Apartment." Funny, poignant with absolutely terrific acting, this little indie is a definite must-see.
