Movie Reviews

  • this shaky apocalyptic film doesn't land at times, but its gripping final act, a handful of standout performances and attempts at commentary about class and climate change will probably keep most audiences engaged
    by Lovia Gyarkye [The Hollywood Reporter ]
  • the characters, compelling enough to carry the movie, nor are the horrors of the outside world fleshed out enough to frighten; Ultimately, the movie seems to ask: In the face of a dying world, should we give up or stay and fight?
    by Concepcion de Leon [New York Times ]
  • that sets the stage for some pretty wild end-of-days action, but "Silent Night" never fully ramps up to it; it’s neither funny nor haunting enough to become a holiday staple
    by Guy Lodge [Variety ]
  • Roman Griffin Davis delivers a more accomplished performance than in "JoJo Rabbit" in this transfixing oddity directed by his mother, Camille Griffin; this is an exceptionally British movie; another strange cinematic cocktail of death and chuckles
    Review rate : B- by Christian Blauvelt [IndieWire ]
  • Knightley is at her most charmingly warm and wonderful in Griffin's pitch-black satirical horror film, which starts off like a classic and sentimental holiday heart-warmer; but quickly turns dark when we learn this is the Last Christmas for everyone
    3 of 4 by Richard Roeper [Chicago Sun-Times ]
  • Griffin's feature-length directorial debut misplaces the root of our current existential dilemma and then covers it with a forced melange of tepid droll comedy and clunky melodrama
    1 of 4 by Pat Brown [Slant Magazine ]
  • entertaining, if a little uneven, "Silent Night" is likely to appeal to those who enjoy a darker take on their holiday entertainment, with simmering tension, a flicker of humor, and a solid helping of existential angst
    3 of 5 by Kat Halstead [Common Sense Media ]
  • darkly hilarious and heart-rending; The social satire dissolves into smoke as "Silent Night" adds a subtle political twist, but also a crushing melancholy
    3.5 of 5 by Richard Whittaker [Austin Chronicle ]
  • as committed as Camille Griffin's Silent Night is to its unpleasant concept, it's still a mess of jarring tonal shifts and shrill characters; "Silent Night" is unlike any other Christmas movie out there, but its audacity ultimately doesn't pay off
    by Josh Bell [CBR ]
  • after an unsatisfying start as a comedy, "Silent Night" finds its feet as an ambitious, thoughtful chamber piece about what it means to peer into the abyss
    3 of 5 by Ian Freer [Empire Magazine ]
  • "Silent Night" is not exactly a satire of well-off and well-connected people as such; But there is something undoubtedly startling and bizarre about seeing the end of the world generically grafted on to this jolly Britcom mode
    3 of 5 by Peter Bradshaw [The Guardian ]
