  Review by Blaze the Action Junkie ½

  This film depicts a mother and son in abject depression after the father/husband dies violently and unexpectedly in front of them. While this kind of depression is a very real and serious thing, I don't think screenplays strictly about the subject are entertaining at all. The performances in this one are fine, but I just feel that this kind of drama is the ultimate downer of a movie, and I don't enjoy watching movies to feel this kind of down.

  Review by B E R T ★★★½

  A rather basic and run of the mill premise that’s elevated by stellar performances across the board. Marisa Tomei is fantastic, and Charlie Plummer continues to shine in another terrific role that shows maturity and sensitivity that we seldom see in young male actors. I really liked that it was short, it didn’t have any unnecessary filler. An all round good drama, well made by the great Joshua Leonard.

  Review by Euan Harris ★★½

  A very ordinary drama - sometimes it has surprisingly poignant moments, but just as many awkward, clunky ones too. Marisa Tomei is great; no one else really is. The main kid becomes pretty insufferable, and it moves into much more cliched territory than I was expecting based on the first half hour or so. It’s perfectly fine though - a bit meh but at less than 80 minutes on the runtime it’s hard to complain too much (it’s also called Behold My Heart on NowTV, not sure what the name change here is about - it makes it seem like a really dark thriller, as does the poster, which is a bit misleading to say the least).

  Review by Arkham Knight Rider ★★★

  “Of all your friends, you have the most beautiful penis.”

  
  So this has been a movie that has continuously rotting in the Dollar Tree every time I have gone there to pick up some movies. Today though was the day I finally decided to pick up a copy and see why it has shelfwarmed so badly.

  I kind of get why. It’s not bad by any stretch of the imagination with good performances from the cast, acceptable cinematography, and a moderately compelling story. The issue is that it’s way too short for the huge emotions it wants give. There are also a lot of oddly executed moments as well that feel like they needed some more rewrites. It’s like a…

  Review by TJ the King ★★★½

  Actually a little better the second time. I appreciate the ending (I didn’t like the abruptness when I first saw it) but seeing it a second time, it brings closure to the story just fine. Marisa Tomei though, damn.

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  supposed to feel empathy for a man that killed timmy o? absolutely not, wish the kid didn't hear his speech and stabbed him.

  Review by Kevin💙 ★★★½

  I actually really enjoyed this movie, it’s well made, good story, great acting, but the downfall is the screenplay, it’s kinda generic but it’s okay.

  Review by Brandon ★★★

  If based on production sound, it would get 5 stars, of course.

  Finally got a copy of this movie that I worked on the same time I met my wife. It unfortunately got swept under the rug, but not sure why. Great cast, great director. Also not sure why they retitled it from Behold My Heart to a darker “Dark Was the Night”, but I understand distribution can be disheartening. Something happened in the editing stage, though. I think they had a better movie than they thought before reorganizing the story in post. 

  It’s crazy to have worked on a Marisa Tomei/Timothy Olyphant movie that no one will ever see. Also, Timothy Olyphant was in Scream 2, but he doesn’t like to talk about it.
