Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayNov 8, 2018
Like Agnès Varda’s similar 1962 French New Wave classic “Cléo From 5 to 7,” the thoughtful Here and Now uses one woman’s sudden awareness of her own mortality as an excuse to focus intently on the many moments of intense emotion that make up a day in the big city. Read full review

ObserverRex ReedNov 8, 2018
Nothing seems real, including the fact that the star is playing an allegedly legendary jazz singer without a single indication that she has any talent for the job. Although she looks weary and downbeat for good reason, she is touching and fearless in an underwritten role, and the considerable vocal chops she has displayed onstage in Broadway musicals serve her well, even when the movie doesn’t.

Entertainment WeeklyDana SchwartzNov 7, 2018
But for most of the film, Parker’s Vivienne is bland and forgettable. A scene where she sleeps with the drummer in her backup band is supposed to be titillating but instead feels perfunctory. Read full review

This is very much a vehicle for Parker, and it plays into some of her strengths and many of her weaknesses. Read full review

Superficiality reigns, but then a truly affecting scene will pop up. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichApr 27, 2018
For an homage boasting a far more fatal outlook than Varda’s original, it’s frustrating and kind of perverse that Blue Night should be so gentle. Read full review

Screen DailyDavid D'ArcyApr 27, 2018
It’s ambitious, and she hits some of the right notes, but much of it ends up off-key. Read full review

The New York TimesAisha HarrisNov 8, 2018
It all adds up to a film aiming to be a moving character study (and an ostensible homage to Agnés Varda’s “Cléo From 5 to 7,” a far more vivid exploration of existentialism), but instead feels adrift. Read full review

VarietyPeter DebrugeApr 27, 2018
This film barely scrapes the surface when it comes to conveying everything someone in Vivienne’s shoes might be feeling. Read full review
