Through the Night Ratings & Reviews
The Curvy Film Critic
Carla Renata
Limbal cinematically reimagines how we view and treat people who mother. The film delicately crafts with humanity and heart that only a child of a female caretaker would know how to share.
Film Threat
Noah Schwartz
Through The Night shines a light on the unsustainable work that people must do to survive in an untenable society...working non-stop, never seeing their children, just to tread water.

Richard Propes
A remarkable film because Limbal so beautifully captures the political and cultural and social factors at work here while, simultaneously, giving us a film we enjoy.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Through the Night might seem boring to some people who are expecting this documentary to be a faster-paced film. Ultimately, the movie gives a realistic and endearing portrait of how a family-owned business is surviving as a 24-hour childcare center.

Phil Guie
Loira Limbal's film shines a light on the need for a better social safety net, especially for lower-working-class, minority, and immigrant communities.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Through the Night is heartwarming (as well as a bit harrowing, when a medical crisis strikes), but without getting too heavy-handed about it, it illustrates so much that is wrong in US society today.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
The kind of documentary that expresses its politics through the simple act of observation, Limbal's film is a plea for justice. It's also an uplifting story about the love and affection that holds a community together, and the children who inspire it.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
It very much takes a village, and this one is proud and strong.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
This quietly engaging documentary is also subtly political, showing with clear eyes how good people are trying to patch gaps in our society that shouldn't be there in the the first place.

Peter Sobczynski
After watching the movie, you will feel a greater sense of admiration for Nunu, and the others like her who affect so many lives with their good work.
Hyperallergic
Natalie Erazo
The film poses urgent questions about the ever-pressing conditions and unfulfilled needs of Black and brown working-class mothers.
Washington City Paper
Alan Zilberman
This is the rare gentle and heartfelt film that nonetheless may provoke your sense of anger for justice.
Film Inquiry
Stephanie Archer
There is a unique nature to director Loira Limbal's documentary Through the Night, a quiet stillness. Even with the children running around on-screen, a peace that exudes.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
Reveals the kinds of heroes that should be celebrated far more.
Remezcla
Monica Castillo
Without making it too obvious, Limbal's documentary shines a light on the unspoken backbone of our economy.
Vague Visages
Marshall Shaffer
Through her bottom-up view of the pre-coronavirus economy, Limbal invites viewers to observe and then empathize.
A Reel of One's Own
Andrea Thompson
"Through the Night" won me over though, not because director Loira Limbal has any illusions about objectivity, but because she prefers to step back and show the toll inequality takes on the very people our culture supposedly reveres most - families.

Robert Daniels
A thoughtful directorial debut for Limbal; Through the Night is sweet and delightful, and remarkably personal and compelling.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Through the Night is both celebration and indictment. A sympathetic depiction of "women's work," in all its unsung dignity, it's also a quietly damning portrait of a merciless economy's effect on working-class mothers...
