Critics Consensus

Mocking the pressures of matrimony with a sly wink, Sister Midnight is a thrilling genre-bender that's impossible to predict.

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

The Hollywood Reporter

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.

Definitely didn’t know what I expected but definitely was rewarded for that. Beautifully shot and moved wonderfully. Strong acting and sets!

One of the most original films you will ever see. Quirky, odd, funny, and unique.

If you watch films for the craft of it, Sister Midnight it is! Every scene delivers something extraordinary out of the mundane. A pink cotton candy is a cliché: so blue cotton candy! The ironies of religion and beliefs in the monastery, the people at the margins-transgenders, the non-exploitative lift lover, there are endless moments! The camera work reminds me of Dil-se, but darker! The plot is a metaphor. The characters are alter-egos! Amidst all kind of main stream cinema, there are film-makers with madness and imagination! I wonder if Radhika apte wouldn't be, who would! Ashok Pathak (Binod from Panchayat series) is here to stay! Nonchalance wasn't ever told so beautifully than Sister Midnight! Thank god someone made this film! And gave this Music.. (Sic-Reviews ki Devi hun mai) IYKYK😁

Not engaging, not funny, not interesting. You wait for it but it doesn't go anywhere. Never again trusting RT critics ‘wisdom’ after this one! Damn you Paul Banks for luring me into this…

Total waste of time. Please don't watch it. It's so boring that you will think why this movie is made. How this idea came to the director mind and why Radhika signed this film no idea. I think she will become next porn star. For the director I think it will be his first and last movie.
