Hitfix
Much of the success of the film is due to the four leads who seamlessly work the one or two outrageous moments into the story without resorting to over-the-top characterizations. - 83
The Playlist
Smart, playful, and hilarious, The Overnight is a delightful romp between the sheets. - 75
IndieWire
Even though the story involves legitimate issues surrounding sexual identity and the boundaries of monogamy, its humor only goes surface deep. For the most part, the endearingly silly plot amounts to little more than sight gags and off-the-wall asides. - 75
Rolling Stone
Brice, who made an impressive thriller debut with 2014's "Creep," has a knack for getting the most out of four people talking. - 75
New York Post
Schwartzman is perfect as Kurt, simultaneously compelling, ridiculous and creepy. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
There’s a breezy spirit and an agreeable touch of tenderness to the movie that makes it hard not to like, even if it never accumulates much substance. - 70
Variety
The Overnight invites the audience to keep guessing exactly who is seducing whom, and exactly where the temptations will lead, right up to its final few beats. Barely hitting 70 minutes before the credit crawl, this comedy successfully achieves a climax of its own that is equal parts exciting and frustrating. - 70
The Dissolve
It’s an unusual but surprisingly effective mix of outrageousness and sincerity, in which the four anxious revelers somehow function both as broad caricatures and as real, complex human beings.
