Los Angeles Times
Those anticipating something more traditionally calibrated will likely be disappointed with the film’s muted thrills and noncommittal denouement, but the elegantly composed film nevertheless makes for a creepy, contemplative entry in the Cristofer canon. - 63
Movie Nation
If The Night Clerk rises above “near miss” status, that’s thanks to the cast. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
The results aren't fully satisfying on any level, despite a terrific cast that includes rising star Ana de Armas (Knives Out), soon to be seen in the upcoming James Bond film "No Time to Die." - 50
New York Post
Using autism as a plot device walks a fine line between empathetic and exploitative, and The Night Clerk is wobbly in that respect. - 50
Variety
Sheridan and de Armas’s scenes together leave an impression long after the rest of the movie evaporates. - 42
The A.V. Club
The Night Clerk will be remembered, if at all, as a movie de Armas was way too good for — an unfortunate mile marker on her road to movie stardom. - 42
The Film Stage
Sheridan lends his role the necessary nuance it deserves and de Armas imbues hers with a wealth of unspoken pain, but neither effort receives its payoff. The film conversely squanders both instead. - 38
RogerEbert.com
Inert to such a degree that one wonders if the film has been slowed down, The Night Clerk doesn’t really go anywhere, truly disappointing for how much it wastes the talents of its young stars on a movie that doesn’t deserve them.
