Despite the allure of the actors and some witty lines, it's ultimately quite wearying to be confronted with such determination to turn youth and good looks into existential burdens.

Clara and Nikolaï meet at a rave and return to Nikolaï's apartment. Afterward, instead of parting, they divulge their deepest secrets. Though they are tempted to argue about divisive gender politics, the friction between Nikolaï and Clara is trumped by a shared determination to bridge the gap between men and women.

What are critics saying?
Los Angeles Times by Betsy Sharkey
Like the relationship she has chosen to dissect, the film is promising, disappointing, touching or frustrating, depending on the moment.
Both de Léan and Storoge give you peeks at the genuine anguish lurking underneath the characters' narcissistic bluffing and porno posturing, even if the script drowns their best moments in verbosity.
The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
Anne Émond's quietly raw Nuit #1 begins as a highbrow sex film but quickly becomes something much more interesting.
San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle
Here's the thing: This movie would be easy to mock as maudlin and self-important, but there's something about it that can't be dismissed. The monologues may be theatrical and presentational - director Anne Emond made this film when she was 29 and too young to be subtle.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
Their eloquent monologues, interspersed with vicious verbal skirmishes, are artfully constructed, occasionally poetic expressions of pain, delivered in well-formed sentences that suggest the movie might have originated as a two-person stage drama.
