Manohla Dargis New York Times Mr. Mekas makes little attempt to smooth out his transitions between takes or scenes, which only reinforces the intensely personal, even handmade nature of the work. Rated: 3/5 Dec 14, 2011 Full Review Eric Hynes Time Out The movie indulges a few too many whims, but it's never less than alive. Rated: 3/5 Dec 13, 2011 Full Review Nick Pinkerton Village Voice More often, Mekas's focus on "names" comes off as a cloistered insensitivity to the wider world. Dec 13, 2011 Full Review Jesse Cataldo MUBI It proves that Mekas is still very much awake, contemplating the broad gulfs of the past and future, the little life that, as Shakespeare put it, "is rounded with a sleep." Jan 9, 2018 Full Review Derek Smith Tiny Mix Tapes Sleepless Nights Stories merely lingers on the personal, and the mundanity that was so magical in one film is now rendered just plain ordinary and dull.
