      Jake Cole Slant Magazine It’s in its smaller observations that The Shape of Night makes its most damning statements on the confused priorities of postwar Japan. Apr 18, 2024 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The Shape of Night is a strong drama with solid performances, a style of its own, and a way to approach difficult subjects that has just the right amount of softness towards its characters while not being afraid to really show things.
