Film Review - Eat the Night
January 08, 2025
“Eat the Night” has crime story momentum, observing rising tensions between drug pushers looking to protect their territory, but it’s also an interesting study of isolation in the digital age. Co-writer/directors Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel (who made their helming debut in 2018’s “Jessica Forever”) attempt to merge more visceral encounters with intimate ones in the endeavor, as it details a collection of characters trying to find some form of stability and love as human connection enters their lives. “Eat the Night” goes a little deeper into private thoughts and feelings, giving it a fascinating understanding of the personalities as they deal with so much in their lives. There’s texture to the writing to sustain the viewing experience, and gaming elements to help create a different appreciation of loneliness, especially when it comes to an end-of-life situation occurring in a virtual world.
