Sebastian L The Vast of Night employs an interesting concept that sometimes works and sometimes not. When stylistic choices get in the way of telling a story it's a usually a bad idea, and more often than not I feel disconnected from the characters, despite great performances and inspired dialogue. The lack of close-ups and a terrible color grade doesn't help with the immersion. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/25 Full Review Audience Member 'The Vast of Night' is a low budget slow burn and is really dialogue-heavy. However, it's also very unique, skillfully filmed, and likely pretty intriguing for anyone interested in the retro sci-fi sub-genre and its associated themes. This is a very nice looking film if not a tad artsy, and it held my interest far more than I expected it to. I also have to mention that this film takes place in the 1950s and contains one of the most thoughtful and well-crafted period reproductions I've ever seen. As some have stated, the first 15 minutes is almost bewilderingly slow and perhaps a little tough to get through. I'm glad I stuck with it though. I liked the characters a lot by the end, and the film's final scenes (not to mention the conclusion) left me with a slight sense of existential dread, but an even greater sense of genuine wonder; something extremely rare in cinema in recently years.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Christian T Another low budget hidden gem, with this movie it's more about what you don't see rather than full on effects, very well made and well worth a watch Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review A C Un relato muy bien manejado de una historia tan trillada ,gratisima sorpresa haberla descubierto . Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Troy R The two main actors were interesting and did a good job. The movie focused a little too much on being artsy, focusing on making it like we are watching an old film and trying to oversell the authentic old movie feel. Between the style and the way everyone was acting/talking. Didn't love the ending but it is what it is. Story was interesting enough to keep me paying attention.
