....this is a lovely and old-fashioned character study with some sly humor and, of course, more than a couple of reach-for-the-tissues moments. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 05/13/2018
3/5
The beauty of Hurt's complex performance is the helplessness in his eyes as his mouth spews its poisonous cruelty - he's a hostage to what used to be wit but now just feels like petty spite. Go to Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian 05/11/2018
2/5
The human interaction, alas, remains hidebound: it's another of those scripts about a writer where the protagonist has been developed at everybody else's expense. Go to Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming 02/06/2021

That Good Night plays everything far too safe ... for it to be considered anything more than forgettable fluff Go to Full Review Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media 12/02/2020

Family drama has one-sided anti-euthanasia message. Go to Full Review Karen Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 11/06/2020
Performances aside, Eric Styles' creaky, sentimental film is mainly of morbid interest. Hurt does well here, but this is not what we should remember him by. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Chris P @RT06285801 Nov 22 I thought this was a great movie. I wasn't sure at first that i was going to like it but as the movie progressed it came to life for me. Well done See more alvpop1 @RT98646009 08/23/2023 A very heartfelt performance by John Hurt, enjoyed it more on the second viewing. Adapted from a stage play so fairly static but deserves recognition as insightful attempt to address a feeling of mortality by one of Englands greatest actors in that exact position himself. Good supporting cast especially Charles Dance, lots of hidden meaning and irony. See more 08/24/2019 This movie is absolutely brilliant! What an emotional rollercoaster! See more Read all reviews
