"Night of Nights is documentary filmmaking at its most raw. A journalistic endeavor that’s also concerned with human attitudes, it captures not just the facts but also the experience. The camerawork might be simple, without much care about how it looks, but it has texture, capturing pain, bewilderment, fear and ultimately survival.” - Variety
