As far as thrillers go, The Night Clerk is a little light on thrills. That said, there are more interesting things going on, which makes the film worth watching. Read full review

Those anticipating something more traditionally calibrated will likely be disappointed with the film’s muted thrills and noncommittal denouement, but the elegantly composed film nevertheless makes for a creepy, contemplative entry in the Cristofer canon. Read full review

If The Night Clerk rises above “near miss” status, that’s thanks to the cast. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Feb 19, 2020

Feb 20, 2020

The Night Clerk will be remembered, if at all, as a movie de Armas was way too good for — an unfortunate mile marker on her road to movie stardom. Read full review

Rex Reed

For an alleged psychological thriller, The Night Clerk has no thrills, suspense or tension. Read full review
