Reveals an immense gift for storytelling that blends sentimental quirkiness with wry satire.

Top Critic
So taken with its own love of cinema, it forgets to lead you down the necessary dramaturgical path to make you fall in love, too.

A movie that longs for a return to a cinema that, rather than marketing, merchandise and corporate synergy, is about the mysteries that flicker to life after the lights go down.

After Midnight is captivating in its renegade freedom, but doesn't provide far-reaching vision.

It has a droll sensibility but is marred by dirge-like pacing.

A girl, a boy and a few days among reels of film: For a cinema lover it is heaven in celluloid.

Ferrario has fun with antique footage and exhibits from the museum, but there's a lack of urgency or sufficient charm to engage auds.

Top Critic Ultimately sinks under the weight of its often pretentious quirkiness, but it does offer some pleasures along the way, especially for nostalgia-minded cinephiles.

Top Critic Weighed down by annoyingly precious voice-over narration ... and a few more precious conceits than any lighter-than-air love story should be asked to support.
