I segreti della notte

I really wanted to like this film. The portrayal of a young man with autism/Aspergers is incredible. That means the acting is also very good.

The one twist hits and the movie is way too short to have it be exciting. It heats up a bit at the end but it's still too short and there's not enough character development for you to really care. I'm starting to think maybe this movie would work better as a limited series or something - with a much better writer assigned to it. They really could've built it out but they failed.

So a bad script/bad execution failed really good actors and a good idea. I'd have to say skip.

Its a film about autism spectrum disorder, a young man with high but ever so locked up mental capasity, who has vast compications connecting to other åeople. working as the night clerk at a hotel, he feels that he can control and surveil the environment, and as part of his self therapy, uses hidden cameras in the hotel rooms, just to practice how to interact with people, especially the female part of the guests. but as a crime occurs on his night watch, things become very dire for him.

its a strange study into the head of a complicated person. its kinda rainman feeling rendering you while watching, at the same time its not. there are some confussionin the plot, the characters are pretty undeveloped, and its hard to say what reaaly happened in the end..seems to me they were in a hurry to get an end to the story,it could have been much better....

the grumpy old man gives a 6 for the main cast, its a small recommend, and a joyridee if youre in the trade of working peoples heads..

Those who are creeped out by Tye Sheridians character watching the hotel guests are looking at this act through the wrong set of eyes. His character Bart says he has to practice to be social so he is learning and mimicking what people say to be able to fit in better. It's more cerebral and those who don't like to think will not

Both the male and female leads were superb. Very talented actors who have huge careers ahead of them. The film was okay. His character was interesting. But the way he filmed guests was a little unbelievable and didn't make sense. But I could ride with that. The story was a gentle run but with nothing of note to remember. I probably wouldn't watch it again but I will be keen to see both the actors in something new. I recommend this film for a relaxed afternoon. Oh, and I think Helen Hunt is in it. Or someone who looks a bit like her.

The lead player in this movie gives a compelling and super performance. He plays a person with a mental condition that causes him to have problems with connecting to others as well as being very obnoxious with everyone he meets.

Tye Sheridan is the actors name and he steals the show from beginning to end.

A night clerk at a hotel finds a way to secretly view and watch guests live in their rooms and one night he witnesses someone being murdered.

The clerk bocomes the main suspect.

I enjoyed this picture. My problem -maybe it it just me -but maybe not, I found it difficult to follow precisely was was happening and after the comclusion of the film I needed to go on line to find out about the other characters in the story and who was involved and also to discover an explanation for the ending.

For that reason I deduct 2 marks from my rating:

6/10.
