First Night Ratings & Reviews
Film Journal International
Michael Sauter
The music of Mozart seems too big for the "book" of this minor-key romantic roundelay, which nevertheless manages to be increasingly, albeit mildly, engaging.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
A pallid gloss of a work that teems with deception, disguise and mistaken identity, not to mention humor.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
The movie may appeal to theater aficionados and Juilliard undergrads, but to the average moviegoer, it's a trudge.
Village Voice
Pete Vonder Haar
It's hard to explain why every character in 1st Night behaves like an adolescent in a sitcom.
Slant Magazine
Drew Hunt
The political dynamic that underpins The Rules of the Game is nonexistent in 1st Night, which is fixated entirely on the zany sexcapades of its characters.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
Its structure aims for Shakespeare, but is little more than shaky, its dialogue is dire and there is enough ham and wood in the performances to make a perfectly good barbecue.
