Phuong Le Guardian Perhaps, rather than relying on genre conventions and slight metaphors, Take Back the Night could have delivered its social message more effectively as a straightforward character study. Rated: 2/5 Oct 3, 2022 Full Review Paul Klein FILMHOUNDS Magazine What is so thoroughly interesting about this work is that Elliot populates the film with women, it's almost as if it's a world devoid of men, and in that space people continue to take the roles we assumed men would take. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Jenn Adams Dread Central Without a clearly identified rapist, Elliot’s film becomes a scathing critique of the revictimization many rape survivors experience after reporting assault. Rated: B+ Apr 28, 2023 Full Review Chris Ward Flickering Myth The performance from Emma Fitzpatrick as Jane is remarkably good, but ultimately the metaphors and messages are hammered home a little too heavily for general viewing. Oct 29, 2022 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Elliot’s film is angry and doesn’t try to hide it, but the message doesn’t get in the way of what develops into a strong psychological thriller. Rated: 4/5 Oct 12, 2022 Full Review Chloé Harper Gold Dread Central Gia Elliot's feature is a poignant commentary on the struggles faced by sexual assault survivors.
