A-
"The Good Night is a superlative feature film from Jake Paltrow; a fulfilling buffet of aches and pains from the discontented, poured into an amusing, uneasy comedic fantasy that barely misses a step."  DVDTalk.com  Brian Orndorf

3/4
"...a low-key yet consistently engaging effort..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2.5/4
"Promising debut from writer-director Jake Paltrow about a sleep-obsessed man who meets the literal girl-of-his-dreams has some perceptive moments amid a lot of tossing and turning."  Big Picture Big Sound  Joe Lozito

2.5/4
"With The Good Night, like any worthwhile dream, you may not be able to fully appreciate the experience, but after you wake up, you vaguely sense that you accomplished something while being out"  Bangitout.com  Jordan Hiller

2/5

1.5/4
"The movie's film-studentish navel-gazing wears thin long before its over."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

1.5/4
""Hanging out with you is pretty depressing," says self-proclaimed dream expert Mel to Gary, a similar reaction aroused by Jake Paltrow's excruciatingly tone-deaf writing-directing debut."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

7/10
"A buddy rom-com featuring Martin Freeman and Simon Pegg owes its success to on-screen chemistry but fails to shake the foundations of the silver screen."  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson
