Night Owls

Actors Adam Pally and Rosa Salazar, who carry the entire film, are not just game for this kind of material, they feel born to it. Their dynamic sparks all over the place.

Meet the fun couple of the year, and watch them go at it tooth and nail.

Manages a simmering romantic-comic tension thanks to an emotionally wise screenplay and a couple of nicely pinging performers.

A mostly satisfying two-hander that never quite lives up to its full potential.

Director Charles Hood's sophomore feature could have gone south in any number of ways. Fortunately, the execution here is impressively adroit, with a clever script enlivened by two charmingly compatible lead performances from Rosa Salazar and Adam Pally.

Night Owls isn't a typical romantic comedy in any capacity, and it succeeds because the lead actors have such an incredibly genuine chemistry.

Moments do drag and there are some questionable wrinkles in either character's arc, but Night Owls is a gratifying subversion of the romantic comedy genre.

A confident, effective piece, Night Owls may not be a hoot, but it's a film that earns every emotional beat it drums out. With commendable performances and assured direction, this is the cream of what these Indie films can present.

There's so much to love about Night Owls, and it all boils down to genuine, honest interactions between two people who aren't afraid to hold back -- much like Hood and Goldsmith's script.

Pally and Salazar share a rare and palpable chemistry, and watching them spark is entirely worth it.

There's a lot to really like about "Night Owls," starting with the fantastic performances by the two leads.

Night Owls is "The Pally & Salazar Show" all the way, which is great news because these two actors have a natural chemistry together.
