Critic Reviews of "Before Night Falls"
Rolling StoneJune 04, 2001In uniting to honor Arenas, Bardem and Schnabel create something extraordinary.
Orlando SentinelMarch 12, 2001Clearly this is Bardem's show. And Bardem walks away with it.
Washington PostFebruary 23, 2001It's a struggle not just to make art but to exist, which is itself an art. And to that goal, the cast members, led by the astonishing Bardem, allow themselves to be devoured by the roles they are playing.
Washington PostFebruary 23, 2001Though Schnabel's first picture, Basquiat, was notable for its excess and self-indulgence, the filmmaker shows restraint and maturity in this moving depiction of Arenas's life and loves.
Miami HeraldFebruary 23, 2001Soulful, deeply moving.
Film Geek CentralMay 10, 2013This could have been a compelling movie about a wonderful writer, but instead it's a tedious, pointless mess. After spending over 2 hours with Arenas, I still knew nothing about him. Javier Bardem's great performance seemed to be a complete waste.
EmanuelLevy.ComApril 30, 2011One of the first features about Castro's impact on artists and homosexuals, this biopic is well acted by Bardem
Suite101.comSeptember 25, 2010"Before Night Falls" exuberantly portrays a writer whose legacy remains an acutely observant childhood spirit that no perversion of politics could break. Javier Bardem blends the swagger of Robert Downey Jr. and the brooding of a young Al Pacino.
Film ScoutsJune 21, 2007Schabel's most recent work fails to move me. While the story of Reinaldo Arenas is tragic enough to be interesting (and Javier Bardem's performance sympathetic) the film as a whole simply seems long and indulgent.
Combustible CelluloidJuly 25, 2003despite a real commitment to Arenas and his work, the film just falls short.
Entertainment TodayFebruary 17, 2003Saddled with a wandering opening and an equally listless conclusion, a more fitting name for this two hour-plus biopic might well be Before Night Falters.
