A compelling portrait of a population decrement via the Florida Straits.

Annlee Ellingson, Los Angeles Times

Mulloy's camera is fully alive to the geographical possibilities of her location, hustling after the hustlers, pausing for a shot of a caged bird or a nightclub singer. It's quite a stew.

[Mulloy] brings a documentarian's objective eye to "Una Noche," yet the actors - non-professionals - convey exactly the emotions she is looking for.

Writer-director Lucy Mulloy displays much promise in her first feature, a gritty teen drama shot in Havana with a nonprofessional cast.

Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader

Una noche thrums with the vibrant energy of restless youth taking their fates into their own hands.
