	Author	Review
United States	Oliver Lyttelton IndieWire	"The film (...) will be ticking around our heads for a while, and proved to be the perfect reminder that Reichardt is one of the most exciting directorial talents we have right now"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"'Night Moves' is (...) [an] intelligent, measured thriller (...) a picture that starts slow but quietly gets its hooks into the attentive viewer (...) [it] might have been close to perfect had it clocked in at a tight 80 minutes or so"	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"A terrific first hour that crescendos in an extended sequence of quiet yet potent white-knuckle suspense (...) 'Night Moves' is anchored by a performance of bristling intensity (...) Jesse Eisenberg, with excellent support from Dakota Fanning and Peter Sarsgaard"	POS
United States	Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"What happens when a seemingly righteous operation goes wrong and anxiety threatens to overtake ideals? It is the question 'Night Moves' asks and answers in chilling ways"	POS
United Kingdom	Tom Huddleston Time Out	"As a procedural study, Night Moves is undeniably effective: The buildup is slow, painstaking and intense, the fallout inevitable but still shocking...But the soul is somehow missing (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
