Five Nights in Maine is too inconsequential to spend money on in a major release, which, I predict, will be brief.

Five Nights in Maine may leave audiences wanting more grounding in the husband-wife/mother-daughter drama that is a constant, foggy presence, but the raw confusion and sadness associated with great loss shines through.

Five Nights In Maine’s grieving has a short-story quality, and many movies would do well to follow that model.

Five Nights gives us only about two nights worth of movie, and far less to chew on than the stingy-with-story director would have us believe.

Attempting to naturalistically capture the hugely internal process of mourning, but rarely managing to offer much of an opening into that process, Curran’s tasteful, challenging yet ultimately inscrutable debut feature never quite lives up to the caliber of her fine cast.
