....this is a lovely and old-fashioned character study with some sly humor and, of course, more than a couple of reach-for-the-tissues moments.

Rated: 3/4

Observer (UK)

The beauty of Hurt's complex performance is the helplessness in his eyes as his mouth spews its poisonous cruelty - he's a hostage to what used to be wit but now just feels like petty spite.

Guardian

The human interaction, alas, remains hidebound: it's another of those scripts about a writer where the protagonist has been developed at everybody else's expense.

That Good Night plays everything far too safe ... for it to be considered anything more than forgettable fluff

Family drama has one-sided anti-euthanasia message.

Performances aside, Eric Styles' creaky, sentimental film is mainly of morbid interest. Hurt does well here, but this is not what we should remember him by.

A very heartfelt performance by John Hurt, enjoyed it more on the second viewing. Adapted from a stage play so fairly static but deserves recognition as insightful attempt to address a feeling of mortality by one of Englands greatest actors in that exact position himself. Good supporting cast especially Charles Dance, lots of hidden meaning and irony.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
