What makes it distinctive is the way it depicts a collision of two worlds... Plus, there's the not-insignificant detail that the two leads are unfeasibly attractive, with enormous chemistry.

3/5

It is a film which interestingly sets out to strain its own credibility, but it is also extravagant and subversive.

2/5

A shame, because while the film flirts with edgy, timely topics, it fails to take the kinds of risks that would make it thrilling instead of merely intriguing.

3/5

Night Stage is a spellbinding work of cinema that’s frequently daring in its exploration of voyeurism and identity. It’s also a film that’s unfocused and habitually loses itself down erotic rabbit holes.

3.5/5

The film is shot in gorgeous shades of noir by Luciana Baseggio, and has a deliciously dark, sultry score.

"Its ability to reinterpret the erotic thriller from a queer perspective makes it a work that many will find relevant and necessary, while others will find it unnecessarily explicit." [Full review in Spanish]

It's a well done erotic drama/thriller. The two leads are attractive. There is nudity and public sex. I didn't like the ending but otherwise I liked it.

Not your usual queer thriller, Night Stage has something to say about repressing your true nature -- and the potential consequences for doing so. Oh yeah, it's pretty sexy too ; )

Strong characterisation, very convincing performances. Predictable clash of worlds but with sufficient twists to make this film highly watchable.
