Critical reception[]
On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 69% based on 45 reviews, and an average rating of 6.6/10.[2] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 61 out of 100, based on 14 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[3]
Variety's Justing Chang wrote "a dramatically limited but strangely powerful portrait of a young would-be terrorist who sets out to blow herself up in Times Square," adding, "By turns frustrating and impressive in its austerity, Julia Loktev’s experimental first feature is too radically minimalist to find much of an audience beyond the festival circuit, although those willing to stick with it may find it an authentically harrowing if not especially revealing experience."[1]
Accolades[]
Day Night Day Night won the Regard Jeune award for young filmmakers at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.[4]
