The Night Clerk

This movie wasn't bad, slow but interesting. But the end??? So rushed. It spoiled the whole movie, what happened? How? Why?

This film was alright... the script was pretty weak. Ana De Armas character seemed shoe-horned into the story just to fill up time. Rarely is one actor's performance a big deal for me- actor's are tools that a director uses. Sometimes there are performances that outshine every other aspect of the film, and this is one of those performances. I've worked for over 6 years with special needs individuals, one in particular is diagnosed with Asperger's. Tye Sheridan's performance is so dead on that I know he a) researched real people with Asperger's extensively, and b) has the skills and confidence to incorporate that into his work here. Sheridan, along with Christopher Abott and Caleb Landry Jones, and a few others I'm probably forgetting, are among America's finest young actors

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.

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

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.
