Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I suppose the makers of this film thought they were being "artistic" or "deep". Or perhaps they thought they were being clever. I really don't know. But I do know they failed miserably.There's no message or meaning to this film; characters whom we are never introduced to give no meaningful dialogue or express any emotion. It's just a series of random people doing boring things for an hour and a half. That's literally it. I have no other summary for the last 90 minutes I just wasted and can never get back.If you want a truly magnificent film on the subject of mass shootings, see Gus Van Sant's Elephant. Otherwise, stay away from this one. I mean it.1/10 Stars

Want to see everything that is wrong with modern art house? Watch Dark Night then. Don't get me wrong there is plenty of modern art house I enjoy. But there are things that give it a bad rap. If you're interested in seeing what they are over the course of this movies run time then give it a go. I'm just gonna lay out the issues with this movie. Boring, paper characters, long scenes of meaningless drivel, lack of plot, lack of beginning middle and end, lack of really anything that makes for a good movie. A bad Harmony Korine knockoff, and if you're making movies that knock off a director with some real miss fires in there catalog you should probably find another profession.So dull so meaningless so bad Dark Night falls flat everywhere.Don't watch this instead watch Van Sant's Elephant or Solondz's Storytelling as an example of how to pull of a film in this genre properly. 2/10. Horrible.

I started watching this thinking it was a documentary about Aurora and it's aftermath. It took me probably 10 minutes to figure out that was wrong. There's no through line except they all end up in the same place at the same time, and I guess that's the point? But as you don't know any of the characters (don't even get names in most instances) there's no emotional connection to anyone other than "this is a terrible thing to have happen" in general. The desire here to go all artsy left the film with a void of emotion. We don't even know why the guy does what he did or get any sense of him at all. A boring, pointless film and I'll never get that time back. Originally rated a 3 but writing this review has made me dislike it even more.

Tim Sutton's DARK NiGHT (USA) took the exact opposite approach as Quentin Tarantino & Alejandro González Iñárritu towards exploring his horrific subject matter… by NOT exploiting it. Loosely based on the Aurora, Colorado massacre in 2012, in which a gunman killed 12 and wounded 70 moviegoers attending a screening of Christopher Nolan's THE DARK KNiGHT RiSES, this haunting, slice-of-life exploration of the random events that led the townsfolk to the movie theater is paced like Claire Denis' Friday NiGHT (2002) and Gus Van Sant's ELEPHANT (2003). In fact, the cinematographer Helene Louvart, who shot Wim Wenders' PiNA (2011) and Agnes Varda's THE BEACHES OF AGNES (2008), was the perfect fit for the director's intense visual style. Combined with MEMPHiS (2013) and Pavilion (2011), Tim Sutton is an American filmmaker who is attempting movies that not only are beautiful to look at, but melodic to experience, no matter what the subject may be.Review taken from 2016 Sundance Film Festival wrap up at www.48hills.org
