Chicago Reader

The diptych films of Nocturna are at the very least an inventive imagining of an end-of-life story, capturing both the beauty and the melancholy that make up our memories.

"Nocturna" weaves memory and nightmare into a haunting tale of loneliness and regret.

Sight & Sound

Falling somewhere between Michael Haneke's Amour (2012) and Florian Zeller's The Father (2020), and playing hide and seek with the emotions, this long, dark night of the soul sends Ulises on a mystical round-trip home to his long-lost wife and family

But where the set feels of decay, Soriano finds the bridge between age-related confusion and the wistful wonder of childhood.

Rated: 3.5

Warped Perspective

The film offers up a terror of - and respect for - the vulnerability of old age, its recriminations and regrets, and it finds varied and unsettling ways to explore a 'dark night of the soul'.
