(1 - 18) of 18 OFCS Rating: 88% Fresh Page   1   7/10 "an economically constructed road movie, beautiful to look at and full of minutely observed details"   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel B+ "There's something about Denis's filmmaking style that is deeply affecting."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3.5/4 "Friday Night is an evocation of one woman's uncertainties, flights of fancy and elusive joys."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez D "It will make you long for the weekend...a picture that seems to ramble its way through an essentially tepid little anecdote."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "The alluring city of Paris is a major character in this fascinating drama about a woman in transition to a new life, a monumental traffic jam and the alternative she finds with a stranger to the anger and frustration on the streets."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 4.5/5 "a most rewarding cinematic journey"   Los Angeles Alternative   Jay Antani 4/5 "Friday Night is slight in the same way fleeting thoughts are—it runs through our imagination quickly, but leaves a pleasing and lasting afterglow."   Filmcritic.com   Jeremiah Kipp 4/4 "An intensely, yet sensitively, realized account of a one-night stand, [that] masterfully builds tension as it shows us its protagonist's very subjective point of view."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 4/10 "A very dreamlike experience (especially if you fall asleep while you're watching it)."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick B+ "[a] gloriously uplifting work of pure cinema"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/5 "The film's complex underlying sound mix ... adds a haunting texture to what could have been the slightest of stories about a woman's ephemeral victory over emotional numbness."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/5 "Not terribly engaging, but surprisingly moving."   Film Threat   Rich Cline B+ "I had seen ["Vendredi Soir"] in September of 2002 at the Venice Film Festival. I give the film credit that, now, months later, the images and emotion remain strong within me."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford A "Friday Night is the most sensuous and intimate work of cinema of the past few years, a film that luxuriates in the immediacy of the moment."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "This is a story about two lovers meeting improbably and fleetingly, but it's layered with strata of tenderness and deep bliss, as if a lifetime of connection could be packed into just one night."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf Read review   Nitrate Online   Nick Schager Read review   BlackFilm.com   Wilson Morales  (1 - 18) of 18 OFCS Rating: 88% Fresh Page   1
