O’Reilly has crafted a meticulously drawn tapestry of universal human themes within a setting that’s as unique as it is familiar. Read full review

Moscow Never Sleeps is ambitious to a fault. While O’Reilly flexes an ability to tie together several narratives, he introduces so many characters that some of their stories must fall by the wayside. It’s a shame, because that muddles the more interesting vignettes. Read full review

Although the film’s overstuffed, overpopulated storyline proves only sporadically interesting, it’s notable for at least providing an alternative view of a city more commonly associated with wintry gloom, corruption and heavy drinking. Read full review

Absent fathers and mothers, building bridges with children — Moscow Never Sleeps could easily have unfolded in a much darker register. That it doesn’t is both refreshing and deflating. Read full review

The various story currents move swiftly but don’t run particularly deep, so the film works better as a kind of best-foot-forward overview of modern urban Russia — “Moscow, I Love You” — than it does as a multi-stranded human drama. Read full review

O’Reilly’s ambitions notwithstanding, “Moscow” is uneven because of the inescapable nature of such interlocking narratives: some land better than others. Read full review

Moscow Never Sleeps is well made but stilted, following too many characters to give any their due. Read full review

It's an interesting movie that gives us a glimpse at a life in Moscow, from oligarchs to middle class to hoodlums in Moscow hoods. The movie is not even: some episodes are great, others - not so much, but overall it seems quite authentic even though the director is not Russian.

It should be equally enjoyable to watch for people who know Moscow well and for those who have never been there.
Solid performances across the board and an excellent cinematography.… Expand
