Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena It ends in one of the most striking final shots of 2005. [Full review in Portuguese] Rated: 5/5 Oct 1, 2025 Full Review Alan Zilberman Spectrum Culture Like Stranger by the Lake, Night Dancer should join the canon of queer thrillers where what is unspoken and alluring is also what makes the milieu so dangerous. Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Filmmakers Filipe Matzembacher and Marcio Reolon create a wonderfully lurid visual sensibility alongside characters who are complex, shady and likeable. And they delight in making us think. Rated: 4/5 Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij Screen International Though the screenplay is occassionally a bit schematic, Night Stage is a sexy drama with thematic smarts to match. Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Stephen A. Russell Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) It traces the path of carnage between a theatrical dancer with ambitions of becoming a TV star ... and an aspiring and very closeted politician. What could go wrong is very much about the uncontrolled horn in this hot mess (in the good way) Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
