The strength of Good Morning, Night is not in winking meta-drama but in a clear-eyed, restorative realism that's occasionally broken by quiet flights of fancy.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Rotten

The race between her deep-set ideology and burgeoning conscience is a compelling one, but there are too many shortcuts -- from fevered dreams to convenient coincidences -- along the way.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

Sober yet filled with fancy. There's a wistful aspect to the movie.

J. Hoberman, Village Voice

Part reality, part fantasy and all compassion. It is a strangely moving experience for the historically aware filmgoer.

Ms. Sansa is an actress of exquisite sensitivity.
