Interesteg What makes it different from others?

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Dalbert Pringle After patiently sitting through "A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" - I now pronounce director, Ana Amirpour as being the new "Ed Wood" of Iranian cinema.But, unlike Wood's directorial incompetence - Amirpour's total lack of skill (unfortunately) doesn't offer the viewer a picture that has the essential edge of having unintentional humour on its side.With "Film-Student Project" written all over it - You'd honestly think that Amirpour would have at least tried to present even one of her Iranian characters as being anything else but pure white-trash ('cause one and all were completely Americanized Iranians to the extreme).Containing countless "dead-air" moments and set in a city that seemed to be suspiciously void of any citizens - "A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" was a completely anal look at vampires where its zero-charisma bloodsucker was so reckless about satisfying her thirst (showing no concern to conceal her nocturnal activities) that I can't believe some courageous demon-slayer hadn't cut this annoying flake down a long time ago.

dissident320 Admittedly I started this movie a couple of times but I couldn't quite get into it. I'm glad I did finally sit down and watch it all the way through. Once 'the Girl' shows up it picks up significantly. I found Sheila Vand quite mesmerizing and she steals scenes without saying a word. It almost could have worked with no dialogue as the music does a good job of setting the mood throughout. The vampire comes across as sensual but with a menace lurking behind her eyes.This won't be for everyone. It's light on story and isn't quite a horror. But it creates this atmosphere that had me captivated through to the end.

Piotr Parker Director took us into different world. Little bit unreal world, but very easily we can find some similarity to real world. Black and white make it even more unique. During watching it I have got the felling that everyone in the movie are lone riders. Loneliness between actors pushing them to be together even if there are lots of understatements. Beautiful soundtrack and the film keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Scarecrow-88 I realize there will be those that gripe that this begs for legitimacy by being filmed in B&W and using catchy music with faces aching "sigh" as they move through their Iranian urban existence alone and without. If this is a reason to be dismissive so be it, but I'll take something so beautifully photographed, small in the scope of a certain sect of characters within a specific environment but visually written in painterly strokes to get the most out of the setting. A heroin junkie father who has left his son struggling to make ends meet, losing a nice ride he saved so long for to a sleazy drug dealing creep looking for payment for the debt of the smack provided to pops. A lovely vampire in a chador with penetrating eyes and enigmatic presence eyes human meals considered worth feeding from, leaving them for dead because they seemingly represent the scum of society, finds her possible soulmate in the heroin junkie's son. The street lights gleaming piercing white, haloing the characters as they haunt the empty sidewalks and roads at night. The vampire becoming smitten with this misbegotten young man absent a parent with his mother gone and the father surrendered to his addiction. Catching the guy as he was seduced by a popular girl of privilege during a costume party to take an X pill, which sends him into an exhilarating trip, under the influence with his inhibitions lowered, dressed in cape as Dracula, the vampire finds him alluring. Great scene has her pondering whether or not to bite him as his throat was available, this realization that he could be her *one* stilling the urge for another drink. The foreground/background composition between the vampire, in chador, and the heroin junkie father, who she is following across the street; this has the aesthetic of a true talent. The kid with the skateboard running across the vampire with her asking if he's been a good boy, threatening him is an instance where we see the predator surveying her potential prey. The seductive face of the rich beauty who is forbidden to the junkie's son, looking like a siren calling to him as he lingers in his drug-influenced daze, only for an attempted kiss to be denied. He is not in her social standing, no matter if he's dreamy and attractive to her. The film is a romance wrapped in the art house disguise of a vampire film.
