This indie film is weird, intense and unusual. It definitely fits into the dark noir category. Starts out as the simple story of an aspiring actress just trying to make ends meet and blossoms into an off-beat kind of crime story thriller. The characters are quirky and unusual. The protagonist, Priscilla, is played by Arielle Brachfeld. She plays an aspiring actress who will literally stop at nothing to get ahead. The casting director, Elsa, is a rude, brutally offensive character and is well played by JamieLee Ackerman. This movie definitely has the right ingredients to become a cult film.
Its so refreshing to see a non typical Hollywood move, depicting the darker side of Tinseltown and some excellent acting in a Indy film more like the style of early Hitchcock. This is Director Michael Chrisoulakis's first full length film and I am betting that we will be seeing a lot more of him. Peter Bogdonovich's voice as the hypnotherapist shrink is intoxicating, Lin Shaye was perfectly cast and so believable she is a great actess, the Lead Arielle Brachfeld, who is Priscilla is outstanding, but the one actor that I will never forget when I think about Los Angels Overnight is JamieLee Ackerman who was Else Sharpless. She is the outrageously over the top casting director. When I think the film I hear the click click click click sound of her high heels clicking across the huge sound stage, to the other side, finally getting to the actors auditioning. Else is dressed in way overly stylish outfits and hairdos all designed to intimidate the poor actors that she confronts, talking above them in riddles and treating them to below human lows. She was the best standout to me. I thought the music, drone shots were great and added to the suspense and emotion. The Los Angles shoot locations were not your typical glamorous ones but the gritty side, was way more interesting and believable. This movie will go down as a cult classic Indy. Its a MUST SEE.
When I Read The Mixed Reviews For Los Angeles Overnight, I Had To See For Myself...I Really Had To See! This Movie Isn't So Bad That It Cannot Be Watch as Some Say! Of Course It Has It's Flaws But What Movies These Days Are Perfect Especially In This Era...It Was Just Fine To Me The Acting And Directing! See It For Yourselves!
I was fortunate to get access from the UK to this film. It is quirky and romantic but also dark and eventually bloody!! Really refreshing new film that I have shared with friends with similar resulting pleasure. A little likeness to the excellent Breaking Bad with it's villians and twists. Go see it!!
I saw an early screening of LOS ANGELES OVERNIGHT. Gorgeous and gritty, this love/hate letter to Los Angeles taps into the zeitgeist to reveal the darkside of Tinseltown. Compelling, unexpected, with a stand-out style.

- TriviaStreet scenes and special points in Los Angeles played a major role in the film, but with a limited budget and not always the opportunity or time to apply for permission to film at a rare corner, the team applied so-called guerrilla filmmaking to pimp the images and scenes just right.
