- Excerpt: Amirpour’s got a brilliant eye, conjuring images that are alternately creepy, beautiful and witty, just like her story, which also features homages to cinema’s past.
- Candice Frederick @ Reel Talk Online
- Kimberly Gadette @ doddle
- Excerpt: Cleverly titled, this Girl who Walks Home Alone At Night has nothing to fear … but everyone else does.
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: ‘A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night’ is a skillfully constructed Iranian vampire love story from first-time writer/director Ana Lily Amirpour.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Occasionally the creation comes across as a bit of an appropriation. However director Ana Lily Amirpour melds the inspirations in a way that cherishes them while creating something new.
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is a once-in-a-year original film; a film which comes out of nowhere from a director on nobody’s radar that hits you square in the solar plexus. It is gorgeous, it is captivating, it is enchanting; I love this film.
- Jennie Kermode @ Eye For Film
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Unprecedented as an “Iranian vampire western,” the film is surely about mortality and gender politics, but it really feels like a melting pot of visual poetry that envelops and washes over the viewer like a victim succumbing to a bloodsucker’s seduction.
- Daniel Lackey @ The Nightmare Gallery
- Excerpt: An engrossing, richly-realized pulp landscape, destined to be regarded as a future cult classic.
- Alan Mattli @ The Zurich English Student
- Excerpt: Amirpour’s debut is one that works in fits
- Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night’ is proof that you can still do something cool, strange, sexy, and intriguing with vampires, they’re not all ‘Twilight’ and ‘True Blood.’
- Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: With no real plot to speak of, ‘Girl’ is a bit of a tease, although the film’s exotic originality is seductive.
