When the coastal Florida town of Atlantic Beach is threatened by an impending hurricane, locals prepare for a mandatory evacuation. But as the last tourists depart and residents board-up their homes, a few wanderers feel strangely compelled to remain. Among them are two-long time friends who embrace willful ignorance in pursuit of their dream gig, a local teenager who bikes alone through the darkening night, and an obsessive storm chaser who recognizes this might be the opportunity of his career. As if haunted by the soon-to-be ghost of their hometown, they venture into the night and face the threats that await them with fascination and dread. Ominous and dream-like in equal measure, the debut from Alexandra Simpson--and the latest feature from the thriving collective Omnes Films (CHRISTMAS EVE IN MILLER'S POINT, EEPHUS)--is a hypnotic take on the disaster movie.

Elegiac in tone, melancholic in style, and documentarian in spirit, Simpson thoughtfully captures the micro preoccupations of the film’s characters.

Rated: 3/4

The Hollywood Reporter

No Sleep Till does a particularly fine job of portraying an eerie kind of climate adaptation, one in which people acquiesce to their fate in the face of the elements.

No Sleep Till is an understated — and somewhat sleepy — film.

No Sleep Till includes ... the heartening thought that sometimes a hurricane warning is just the nudge lethargy needs. But the third act becomes tangled, like a forecaster’s spaghetti models, with muddy and unsatisfactory landing.

The SS Ben Hecht

A moody, very effective exploration of the humanity of its characters, anchored in the specificity of coastal Florida.

ScreenAnarchy

It's a state that exists in a paradox of 'pre-ennui' anticipation which is simultaneously the mundane workaday present, and a nostalgic reverie. Like somehow smelling ozone, before the lightning strike.   

Rated: 4/5
