Reviews
Critically, "Open at Night" received mixed reviews upon its release. On IMDb, the movie holds a rating of 5.4/10, reflecting a lukewarm reception by general audiences. Critics noted that while Édouard Baer's charm and unique style were evident, the film struggled to maintain narrative momentum. Some reviewers appreciated its playful and whimsical approach, praising the film's homage to theater and its lighthearted tone. For example, French media outlet Allociné gave the film an average score with praise for Baer's energetic performance and the film's atmospheric portrayal of backstage theatrical life. However, other critics found the plot meandering and the pacing uneven, with a few describing the humor as hit-or-miss. The film did not garner significant international critical attention, and its appeal has been described as niche, particularly resonating with those interested in theatrical arts. Overall, "Open at Night" is appreciated for its creative ambition and Baer's charismatic direction, albeit with reservations regarding its storytelling coherence and broader appeal.
