Night and Day played in New York City to good reviews. • Scott Foundas wrote in the Village Voice, "...emphasis on dialogue, combined with an unapologetically stationary camera, gives director Hong Sang-Soo's work a casual, 'artless' façade that belies his carefully plotted, novelistic structure — of which 'Night and Day' may be the most ambitious to date."
