“Through the Night is both celebration and indictment. A sympathetic depiction of "women's work," in all its unsung dignity, it's also a quietly damning portrait of a merciless economy's effect on working-class mothers — particularly black women and Latinas, who often must work taking care of other people's children in order to feed their own.”

“Powerful! “Through the Night” bears witness to the struggles of these working people, to their tenderness and mercy. Limbal keeps her gaze steady, and her vérité rigor becomes an act of solidarity.””

“This quietly engaging documentary is also subtly political, showing with clear eyes how good people are trying to patch gaps in our society that shouldn’t be there in the first place.”

“Heartening and heart-rending. [Limbal] convey[s] tenderness as both a political ideology and an aesthetic, a symbiosis that’s aptly reflected in this quietly profound documentary.”

“A warmly attentive, tender documentary by the Afro-Dominican film-maker Loira Limbal.”
