The Overnight (2015)

The Worst Film Ever

Beautiful, moving film.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This film tells the story of a married couple who gets invited to a new friend house.It is not usual to see a comedy centered around two couples, and this time the story is quite funny. It has an intriguing quality that lures you to want more of the story. I enjoyed watching it.

Let me start first by saying that as a review, 6 of 10 is not a low score. I like a lot of movies, and love a lot of them for a number of different reasons. So a 6 is a good score for me, while leaving room to move into films that resonate on a more significant level.The Overnight is not a slapstick comedy. And though it has some shock value to today's audience, it is not about that, either. It's an honest, introspective movie about relationships, complacency, complexes, and identity. The narrative plays out in a very limited time frame. The adjustment and surprise we as the audience take in in the (incredibly short) duration of the movie, is echoed in the equally awkward scenario played out by the protagonists.Love, sex, intimacy, self-loathing. intimidation and desire are all at play in this movie. And I think it's fair to say that the situation is framed as uncomfortable. The general viewing audience (myself included) will find humour in the incredulous nature of the setups.But there's more to it than this.Out western society is not liberated. We have fears and hangups about who we are as partners and lovers. We judge ourselves and others, and within that yardstick, it's easy to lose sight that we're all of us just people trying to find our own happiness.I imagine many people will be put off/offended by the homosexual overtones of this movie. But it's for exactly those reasons that I applaud it.The heart of this movie is about acceptance. Finding yourself; your place in this world; the validity of being who you are without judgment. The Overnight lets us view this through a humorous setup, but the truth of it remains: we all want to love, and be loved, without issue or compromise. In a very simple way, this film allows us to transcend etiquette and gender, and maybe privately acknowledge all of us need love, understanding, and genuine sexual approval in order to be fulfilled.Even as I rate it 6 of 10, this movie sends a strong, positive message I stand by. It's a brave, sincere and honest film that addresses a part of humanity we're taught to ignore or deny. I highly recommend this movie.

I have just finished the movie and I have no words to define this movie. Just... wow! I have no idea how to describe it at all. At the beginning, it seemed the typical movie about couples having dinner, having fun together and so on but oh my gosh! it changed totally in the middle of it! Weird stuff started to coming by... and boom... the end (what an end!). You won't totally be able to find another movie like The overnight easily, it's something completely different that at least, I used to watch. I cannot say it's a good movie but it's not a bad one either. I would like to finish my review like I started... wow! Be ready because you are gonna freak out completely! Enjoy it!

What might be an average French film, makes a spectacular American tale about love and friendship, and the lines that blur them -- that abstract thing we all seek, which is human connection and understanding, in a place free from judgment. Any open-minded and free- thinking person, who has experienced a lot, or maybe not lived quite enough but yearns for something more, should enjoy the emotional awakening experienced among these four thinking and deeply feeling humans. This is at the same time a story about the comforts of stability and the drawl of temptation; it is a seduction more of the mind, than the body, that drives these characters. Don't be fooled, sex has very little to do with what any of these people really are after deep down inside. They are not so different from the rest of us.
