I agree with all the other comments that this is indeed a well made film and works superbly as a fantastic thriller.

HOWEVER, let's all be aware that it contains some truly blinding homophobic stereotypes. Specifically: Gay men can be cured by meeting the right girl, Once meeting said girl, former gay man becomes repulsed by other men, Bisexuals have no morals, Inside every gay/bisexual man beats the heart of a psychopath, spurned gay men act psychotic and therefore should be avoided at all costs.

There are three gay men in this film and all of them should be sectioned! I do agree that it is a great film and superbly shot and acted (God knows I'll never be able to look at a four poster bed again without thinking of the sexy Marc Warren!), but for once can we have some gay characters in a thriller that are NORMAL??? Just wanted to point this out, Enjoy! - Mike.

No Night Is Too Long casts young Lee Williams as one beautiful twink of a college student who gazes longingly on paleontology professor Marc Warren. One day on an impulse they passionately kiss in an elevator and the two are hooked on each other.

Not that he's interested in his field, but Williams is certainly interested in the professor. He reluctantly goes along on an Alaskan cruise where Warren is an instructor on finding fossils. When he leaves Williams alone in Juneau for two weeks the trouble begins.

After that the film is a story of betrayal, violent passions, and even murder. In fact for an impulsive act on Warren, Williams seems to have covered up pretty well.

Williams and Warren are an ideal pair of passionate lovers, the bisexual Williams however finds it impossible to not satisfy the heterosexual side of his nature. Mikela Mikael plays the woman who comes between Williams and Warren and she also has a secret or two to reveal.

No Night Is Too Long starts as tender gay love story which goes into all kinds of dark directions. It's a worthy addition from across the pond to the gay cinema.

This truly terrific thriller scores in all departments. First and foremost is Lee William's stunningly intense and passionate central performance. He has completely internalized his complex character, bringing it to the screen with tremendous conviction in a display of faultless acting. Marc Warren, resembling a Malcolm Macdowell of younger days, doesn't quite have the same grasp on his character, which at times loses credibility, but fortunately not enough to spoil the film. Mikela Mikael captures a lovely vulnerability so necessary for the plot to work.

This is a thriller that works on all levels, which is an achievement few thrillers seem to attain. The plot twists are indeed unexpected and for the length of the movie the viewer is kept riveted to the unfolding story. The cinematography is of the highest level, especially with the amazing Alaskan seascapes but also the carefully shot interiors. Director Tom Shankland who put all this together is certainly a name to watch.

Having no expectations or preconceptions about the film, plus the fact of these actors being completely unknown (well, to me anyway), made this one great surprise package. There are not that many classy thrillers around; if that's your pleasure you won't want to miss this one.

I cannot recommend this movie highly enough. Both Lee Williams and Marc Warren are amazing in their respective roles. Williams is superb as the confused young man who enjoys the chase more than the end result, and Warren meets this fine job with one of his own; he is excellent as the angry and bitter lover who cannot get his heart free. The story is also top-rate, very depressing, but so true to life that it can't be faulted. I didn't like the casting choice of Isobel, I rather thought that she was played too old, but otherwise, this film was brilliant, definitely worth your time.

I liked the story but acting sometimes need more credibility from the actors and mainly from Director's point Of View and the way that Movie is been edited. In this case I found some empty phrases that made no sense in the Direction of this film! But In General, The film as interesting to watch but at the end was kind of boring and I think this end could be filled with more suspense, emotion and a happy ending!

Hitchcock is smiling down from... or up from... This BBC produced thriller is a worthy homage to the master. A little gem that is as complex and perverse as anything Chabrol or Truffaut accomplished in this genre. Director Shankland engenders superb work from all involved. The cast is first rate as is the atmospheric cinematography of Paul Sarossi, with special kudos going to composer Christopher Dedrick for a magnificent and seamlessly integrated score whose source material are the rapturous melodies of Der Rosenkavalier. As with Hichcock, be prepared to be shamelessly manipulated by the plot structure and its twists. But go along with the filmmakers. You will not be disappointed by this daring and intricate piece of work. The pacing of this 120-minute film cannot be faulted and the last 30 minutes are a spectacular emotional tour de force. You might even find an unexpected tear in your eye by the end of the final, beautifully understated, tracking shot. Search this one out. It's worth it.

I stumbled across this excellent movie on late-night Canadian television, and I was simply blown away. I'm so glad I was able to record it because I learned later it has only rarely been shown in Canada, has never been shown on TV or anywhere in America, is not on DVD or VHS, and not likely to be released in those formats either. I showed this film to a friend of mine who is involved in the movie industry and he was so impressed he contacted the producers to try to buy the rights to release it on the film festival circuit and then put it out on DVD and he gave up because they showed absolutely zero interest in it. I fear this is one superb movie destined to be seen by very few people, which is a shame. It is among the very best gay-themed films I have ever seen. Based upon a mystery novel, it has many unpredictable twists and turns, is beautifully and professionally photographed, and the acting is great. It leaves you on the edge of your seat.

I cannot even comprehend WHERE all these positive reviews came from. Who ARE these people and what world do they live in. Wow.

Because of them I WASTED an hour on this crap before I got it. This film is awful. Melodramatic, silly nonsense. Bad writing, bad acting. Horrible lead actor. Sexuality unlike any I've ever encountered. It's just silly.

the very first time I saw this movie I was shocked for the sex scenes and don't really believe I'd like it. the second time I saw it I was with a friend and we spent part of the movie discussing Ivo and Tim's relationship. its an amazing movie, excellent actors and great scenery,so well written that you actually felt for this guys. the feelings and all the emotional stress that the characters suffer from the beginning to the end its palpable, I personally believe that any person can relate this movie to their own love-lives. Tim (Lee Williams) was portrayed with such grace and amazing ability that I actually can't see the actor, every tear, every gesture was superb. the growing of the character during the story and the changes, I'll just say that if this guy decide to work more often he'll be one of the finest actors of this century. And Ivo(Marc Warren) at first I thought he was an abusive selfish brute, at the end I really liked him more than Tim. I've never read the book because I couldn't find it yet, I'm still looking for it. In my opinion is SO much better than Brokeback mountain.

No Night Is Too Long ...unless you have to sit through this movie.

It's a typical example of what happens when you mix a heteronormative POV with gay content. It's never accurate and it's never believable.

One of the best movies I've seen in a long time! Great love story filled with suspense, and twists I did not see coming. I highly recommend this film!

Is a sad but good gay movie. Lee Williams and Marc Warren do a fantastic job as Tim Cornish and dr. Ivo Steadman. They are both gorgeous and talented. I was very surprised to see two straight actors playing the roles of gay men so well. Congratulations!

A hurried mess of a film, underpinned by its fundamentally flawed storytelling.

Given what there was to work with, the film was never going to be eligible for many Oscars, but with the additional combo of the typical, uninspiring, television-film direction (with the two bit production to match), the star's inability to properly act (especially in his voice-overs) - but rather to strike a few convincing poses - the development of both Tim Cornish (the main character) in the beginning and his two lovers (Ivo and Isabella) along the way, make the "thriller" entirely unabsorbing for those who haven't switched off their brains. At least Williams feels like he's trying though - the supporting cast would be lucky to pick up a razzie between them. Its only redemption is that I didn't expect much in the first place, and neither should you.

No night's too long is a fantastic thriller/romance in all dimensions. I was captivated by the entire film, not once bored or hurrying the ending.

I first saw it on channel 4 (UK) about 16 months ago and I am desperate to know if it has/or is to come out on VHS or DVD? I have looked on numerous websites and asked at video shops but nobody seems to know anything of it, I really want to get hold of it especially as my partner doesn't believe me when I say it's great and I would love him to see it too.

I would, obviously, reccomend this film to anybody who has not yet had the pleasure of watching it, it is a memorable film that wont be gotten out of your head anytime soon. Please leave a message on here if you know anything about purchasing it...

For all the reviewers whining and moaning about the ending or trying to sound intelligent by using the term "heteronormative", all I can say is they completely missed the entire point. While this film definitely centered around some gay relationships with the main character, the main point here was that he was a complete narcissist...and he didn't care which gender fell for him at all. The plot twists to this were amazing...I can usually see them a mile away (there's precious little "new" out there that hasn't been done), so extremely well written AND acted. Sadly, two aspects I wasn't at all impressed with was the editing and the cinematography; both of which had a VERY "made for TV look" (and indeed that's what this was...but they didn't have to make it look that way). But definitely a good suspense/psychological thriller.

I quite agree this is a fantastic story and contains all of the elements that run through relationships of this type. Marc Warren steals the show with a performance that gives the right level of menace. Anyone with an ounce of sensitivity would be moved. It is a travesty that this title is not available in general. I would love to own a copy in any format, but probably never will. The BBC produce a lot of fodder for the general public yet still miss releasing gems like this. If anyone thinks that they can persuade the powers that be to get this title onto DVD then please do so. Marc's major work since then has been the Hustle series, a very different story, but in which he is equally excellent and supported by other excellent performances including those of the veteran actor Robert Vaughan.

Very good suspense thriller. Well done all the way around.

surprisingly good movie{almost excellent},because the story is taken by real life{almost}.i was victim of the people like the lead character.now about the story:Tim is gorgeous young man ,deified by many,but with heart made of ice.breaking of hearts is his occupation.he often hear from others"i love you",but his heart is closed for other human hearts.as a student in university Tim starts hot affair with Ivo Steidman{lecturer in the same university}.the love of Ivo is true &deep,but Tim doesn't want to appreciate that.i'll be so grateful ,if somebody loves me like that.in this relationship Tim gets more, than he gives.together they travel to Alaska on excursion.there "our hero"falls in love for the first time to a mystery woman ,named Isabel.the movie continues with murder,surprise{really big-i drop my cup from surprise},love affair{again}&murder{again}.bitter retribution for a heart-breaker."god helps to those,who loves you"is a true definition for Tim's behavior.desolation &desparation-these feelings i felt after i saw this movie.about that how easily we people throw away love....every time when i watch this movie i can't stop crying.and i know what.and that's hurts me the most!

I caught part of this on IFC Channel on TV and was sorry I didn't tape it. For this movie, made in Canada and Alaska for BBC was one of the better films depicting relationships in the world of gay life as was another brilliant film, Brokeback Mountain. What is unfortunate is that you can't get a copy of this except for YouTube. However, I did locate Gottaseedvds and was able to obtain a good copy on DVD.

Tom Shankland is a director to watch. For he certainly did justice to this Barbara Vine novel. You can also get the book on Amazon. He brought honesty to the screen and impeccable casting in all the roles. The photography was superb, most particularly Alaska greenery and snow covered mountains. Even the interior scenes had a quality of dark somber colors and depth. Lee Williams as the lead character, Tim, excelled in this. A beautiful looking young man, almost too pretty, he brings a quiet and soft vulnerability to his role until you discover he is a tortured soul from childhood molestation. Williams is perfectly cast in a difficult role. You feel for him, even though you know his fate is obvious. As his lover, Ivo, Mark Warren, too was excellent. The two men seem to fit together, both in style and believability. Warren brings a mature, yet heartbreaking character to reality. Their love scenes take your breath away. Tastefully done, their sexual scenes were quite smoldering. This I felt more convincing than the two lovers in Brokeback Mountain, although it did make a statement.

Rounding out this excellent casting are Mikela J. Mikael as the "other" woman in the picture. There was a kind of haunting quality about her looks and performance, reminiscence of the late Deborah Kerr. I felt sorry for her, not contempt. How the weakness of the heart can cause so much turmoil within ourselves. I can tell you my story sometime. But I liked Mikela's work. Salvatore Antonio plays the contemptuous hustler boy friend who lures our hero into a plot of bad intentions. He did well in a not so likable character. He looked like a hustler. And finally there was Mark Hildreth as the man from our hero's past. He took Tim into his life as a young boy, but eventually grew out of the situation as do most boys having early homosexual experiences in their lives. Unfortunately Tim doesn't.

Enjoy this movie for what it has to say. I know I did and continue to watch it on my DVD player.

Love like ambiguous experience. A new story about another Dorian Gray and the price of passion. Betrayal and dangerous game, traps and forms of propriety, soft lies and subtle temptations.

A story about the value of truth and the burden of gestures. A beautiful film about human relationship nuances. The gay love is only excuse for deep exploration of feelings and their metamorphosis. Tim Cornish must be a victim for his perfect life, his beauty and success. In his passion for Ivo is not the mark of special sin but the shadow of old Greek anenke. Isabela is a lure but, in same time, the best instrument to understand his existence's sense. And Ivo, the fascinating Ivo, subtle spider of beginning, final victim of Tim's deep guilt, he is Gray's portrait. Tim must be himself and the price is never huge.

A beautiful movie about the life's nooks.

This is an excellent film thriller. Some people have posted that it is too long and/or boring. It is not. It is a mystery/thriller adapted from a novel with plot twists which I did not see coming. Has to be one of the best gay/bi-sexual films that I've ever seen due to the excellent storyline. I would highly recommend viewing.
