A Night of Knowing Nothing's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
This combination of lively image and mournful narration imbues the camera\'s fly-on-the-wall perspective with a sense of melancholy. As life unfolds with verve and passion, the spectral narrator, L, exists at a remove, as if she were both present amidst the frolic, and distant from it, her heartbreak leaving her unable to get involved.
Variety
Only a few seconds into Payal Kapadia\'s shimmery, poetic essay doc A Night of Knowing Nothing, it feels like we are a few hours deep into the excavation of someone else\'s memories.
The Guardian
Love for the moving image ? and love for artistic creativity ? marches hand in hand with the fight for political freedom.
The A.V. Club
Because of Kapadia\'s collage-like approach, A Night Of Knowing Nothing occasionally feels loose and shapeless. But there is a discernible trajectory here.
