chad d @Chaddie Dec 22 This was a very well put together movie, full of nostalgia and focused on building the two main characters, only 4 stars because character building rambled a bit See more Dustin W Nov 29 Masterful pacing, doesn't rely on over-orchestration to supply feeling. Well written for it's setting. I will always love this movie. See more Leaburn O Nov 5 The acting was on point from early in, as is the dialogue which is reassuring as there’s not much else here. Starts intriguing but falls away to disappointment as you realise we’re on a road to nowhere. Has its merit but slightly underwhelming in the end. Watched on Amazon Prime. See more Kramer A Nov 4 If you grade it on a curve based on the budget, then it’s 5 stars. It looks really nice. The entire movie is dialogue between 2 characters plus a couple monologues. Might have made a great podcast. See more Sebastian L Oct 22 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. See more Jagdpanzer Sep 19 '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.
