Critical reception to
White Night was lukewarm.
Nows Norman Wilner compared the film's style to the works of
Richard Linklater, but felt that its editing could have been tighter. Bruce DeMara of the
Toronto Star enjoyed
White Nights music and cinematography, though thought that it seemed like "an extended promo" for
Nuit Blanche, and at times found it "a bit wearing, just like the real event." Gayle MacDonald of
The Globe and Mail gave it stars out of 4, praising the performance of
Darrell Faria, but writing "the film doesn't quite pull off the challenge of fusing the visions of five filmmakers into one cohesive whole." == References ==
