Some amusing moments, but a disappointment after the excellent Hatching. Go to Full Review Zach Lewis Slant Magazine Feb 18
2.5/4
Even if the film has few surprises in store for us, there’s something pleasingly unpretentious about how it leaves little room for subtext throughout. Go to Full Review Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter Feb 17
Part of what makes Nightborn both stomach-churning and thought-provoking is how all the crazy stuff happening is just a slightly -- okay, substantially -- exaggerated version of the reality so many first-time parents face. Go to Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Region Free 4h

There's no question that Bergholm is a talented director, and I can't wait to see what she does next. Nightborn has its moments; they just don't come together when they need to. Go to Full Review Edward Douglas The Weekend Warrior (Substack) 19h
7.5/10
Creepy as hell, but it’s also thought-provoking and probably will have a deeper impact on younger couples with new babies. Maybe they shouldn’t watch this. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 19h
