The Passengers Of The Night

Critic Reviews:
- " It’s a lovely slice of French life, with some well written, well performed characters. Gainsbourg in particular is effective at giving the film an emotional core and a beating heart, and Abita excels as the young Talulah. " – Chris Knight (National Post)
- " With its stunning production design and nostalgic but stylish ’80s costumes, The Passengers of the Night is a gorgeous invitation to slow down and take it all in before life passes by. " – Jude Dry (indieWire)
- " There is something sweet-natured in the film’s positive attitude to life. " – Peter Bradshaw (Guardian)
