Ty Burr

Washington Post

If you want to see a talented director putting together pieces of a vision — however unclear — and an actress with the courage to leap with him into the unknown, “Sister Midnight” is worth your time.

Rated: 3/4

Los Angeles Times

One of those films that deserves to be seen without knowing much about it, because of its unhinged and eventually violent twists, but always supported by a surprisingly colorful aesthetic. [Full review in Spanish

It’s a go-girl quest that could’ve been depicted in many mainstream ways, but Sister Midnight forces it to stay undetectable.

In a creatively barren phase for Hindi cinema, Sister Midnight is a rare spark. Defying market norms and genre traps, it reaffirms the joy of watching films and reiterates the medium's potency.

It’s Kandhari’s vision that sets the film apart from what might otherwise feel like an imitation game gone wrong.
