“Unpacks a generation’s worth of Cold War fascination and paranoia. ”
“Few flicks come along like this one nowadays. A must see! ”
“The Vast of Night [is] one of the most accomplished films of the year, one that takes a story we think we’ve seen before, and gives us fresh eyes to see it with, and more importantly, fresh ears to hear it with. ”
One night in a sleepy 1950s New Mexico town, a high-school switchboard operator hears a mysterious sound bleeding through the phone-lines. Running around town, she teams up with a crackerjack radio host to identify the source of the sonic disturbances. With dynamic, fluid camerawork, a keen use of sound and darkness, and a Spielbergian touch, filmmaker-to-watch Andrew Patterson follows their thrilling unearthly investigation as it leads to realms unknown. – Chicago International Film Festival
