Girl Walks Home Alone At Night

Translated from swedish: It's an original film ("weird" is what my mom would say, as she does about everything she doesn't like) but watch it alone, when darkness has fallen and I promise you won't be left unmoved. I look forward to more films from Amirpour.

Translated from swedish: That "Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" is a debut film of an unusually strong caliber, and shows great promise for a bright future in Amirpour's filmmaking. It's not the world's first vampire western, and when it both feels like one while also feeling anything but typical for its genre, then it's easy to be impressed.

Translated from swedish: The film is black and white, a bit in the Jim Jarmusch style, it's beautiful and different. A young couple meets in the film, feeling their way toward love, but she has a secret - she's a vampire.

Translated from swedish: Sure, it's a hipster film, if you mean that the movie primarily attracts with its cool attitude and a surface that can only offer sensory pleasures rather than something more substantial, but that's just how it is. You can't judge a pretty package for being a pretty package.

Translated from swedish: Occasionally it becomes too self-conscious, too much style over substance, and perhaps Amirpour is too obviously in love with some of her own imagery – but on the whole, the film deserves the attention it received after its premiere at Sundance last year.

Translated from swedish: "Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" is cast in black and white, stylized comic book aesthetics with a soundtrack that sounds like a mix of Ennio Morricone and Persian pop. The storytelling creeps forward, understated and searching, but with sudden eruptions of violence.

Translated from swedish: The film is stylish. The soundtrack is an attraction in itself, and tall, slender Sheila Vand makes for a striking vampire incarnation. But the godforsaken desolation and dry humor are nowadays all too commonly served independent film ingredients. "Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" is mainly for collectors of quirky vampire films.

Translated from swedish: The cinematography is brilliant; it looks like a French film from the early 60s, with heavy shadows and carefully studied compositions – but that's really the only thing I like about this pretentious, boring drama. Because it is pretty boring. The pacing is slow, people don't talk much, and Amirpour often falls into arthouse traps.
