The Passengers of the Night
Left by her husband, Elisabeth finds herself alone, responsible for the day-to-day care of her two children. She picks up a job on a night-time radio show, where she meets Talulah, a youngster she decides to take under her wing.
“The film’s greatest achievement is the measured and elegant gaze on a woman in the prime of life, often referred to as middle age, whose desires (both sexual and professional) are neither diminished nor pathologized.” ~Jude Dry, IndieWire
“It’s a credit to [director] Hers’ contemplative, never intrusive observational style that by the end of the two-hour running time we know [the characters] intimately.” ~David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
