Notturno Ratings & Reviews
indieWire
Ben Croll
Whether "Notturno" challenges the mind and rewards the eye, on the other hand, is unambiguous. The film's qualities are clear as day.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Rosi's compositions, static and mostly wide angle, are ennobling, albeit ambiguously. Life is going on, but not as usual.
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
For the steadiness of its images, for its quietude, Notturno is keen on showing us a world that endures beyond its scars. And its just as keen on depicting the scars that cannot be shaken.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Strauss
Rosi endlessly proves that he can turn the region's agony into the finest art, and proves enough that he hasn't lost sight of the human factor in the process.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
The overall effect is like picking up a copy of National Geographic, turning to a long and ambitious photo essay, and not reading the captions. It also shows the limits of what Rosi can achieve.

Roxana Hadadi
While Notturno shares many moments of profound fragility and deep beauty, it also paints an incomplete portrait.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
It may all depend on the totality of your reactions, though, and whether you feel "Notturno"- in the panoply of Rosi's specialized, confident hybridizing of intimacy and distance - is a cooler gaze or something emotionally resonant.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
Eschewing interviews and captions, Rosi puts his faith in a steady tripod camera and an evident ability to build up trust.

Robert Daniels
In Rosi's pursuit to win hearts and eyes, with Notturno, the heart beats inauthentically.
Chicago Reader
Kathleen Sachs
The cinematography is sublime, but the beautiful imagery doesn't mask the terror of Rosi's subject matter.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
It's a sweeping work of care and one that is often piercing in its painful beauty.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
We don't necessarily know what's going on in every scene; sometimes we figure it out, sometimes we don't. But we feel it, and we hear what the movie says, wordlessly, with each new composition: This is the world we've created.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Rosi has an impressive eye and empathetic style, but his approach also often feels overly staged and precious with its visuals.
The Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
Like all the director's films, it's a mood piece that still retains a strong element of social and political criticism.
Screen Rant
Mae Abdulbaki
Notturno is sometimes beautiful and Rosi makes good use of private spaces, but it comes off as an exploitation of the region and its people's pain.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The content of Rosi's documentary ... is indispensable ... The absence of vital context, though, hinders the movie's potential power.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
The film's experiential approach emphasizes that the fragments of life it captures aren't impersonal events on a timeline.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Jeanne Kaplan
As much as Rosi wields his camera like a paintbrush, creating lustrous visuals of a war-torn land, NOTTURNO feels more like a Lars von Trier fantasy, full of stunning cinematography, than a realistic expose of lives in ruin.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
It is problematic that many of the film's most powerful segments are its most prurient, and even more, that they are juxtaposed with the poetic and the prosaic.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Offsetting the harsh truths on the ground with strikingly composed shots ... Rosi creates a somber meditation on brutality and resilience.
