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

Sergio Burstein

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.

The Curvy Film Critic

The unique and refreshing direction of Karan Kandhari, whose gorgeous imagery and lack of dialogue makes Uma's journey land in a way the audience never sees coming. Radhika Apte is a revelation inhabiting the role of a misfitted accidental outlaw.

Casey's Movie Mania

Karan Kandhari's erratic but fascinating debut feature navigates the absurdist path of an arranged marriage.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Wire (INDIA)

As it concludes, it’s impossible to not admire the storm that is Karan Kandhari’s Sister Midnight – even if it leaves behind a whole lot of wreckage in its wake. Such beautiful wreckage.

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.

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.

There's weirdly wonderful and there's weirdly woeful. This was the later. Basically a weird, self conscious, bad, vampire movie that you were decieved into seeing.

'Sister Midnight' is a bold, unconventional and audacious debut feature that is darkly funny and visually striking throughout.

Saw the previews a few times beforehand, then saw the glowing reviews. A noticeable portion of the audience did walk out. The film, to me, was without a discernible plot structure and did feature long passages where little happened to further that “plot.”
