	Author	Review
	Fabien Lemercier Cineuropa	"A promising debut (...) creating an underlying atmosphere full of tension and bottled-up pain, Nathalie Biancheri makes deft use of a classic narrative format"	POS
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"The acute command of atmosphere and performance should attract attention to a modest film that confirms prolific documentary maker Biancheri as a rising talent."	POS
Ireland	Paddy Kehoe RTÉ	"Bleak and intense, 'Nocturnal' is mildly creepy but curiously credible (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Nocturnal deserves praise for giving us a third act where so many films, of whatever sort, don’t. But this didn’t feel convincing (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Ireland	Deirdre Molumby entertainment.ie	"The film works best as a character study and slow-burning drama with two genuine lead performances (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Tara Brady Irish Times	"At 85 minutes, the Biancheri’s debut feature can feel a little slight. 'Nocturnal' remains an impressive piece of work, nonetheless (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Lewis Knight Mirror	"A well-acted kitchen sink drama that shows off Cosmo Jarvis’ brooding masculine charisma(…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
