Reception

Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film "achieves something admirably genuine about the queasy mixture of anguish and joy attached to caretaking for the most needy of loved ones."^[1]

Virginia Johnson of Library Journal wrote, "While some of the dialog surrounding Jacob's disability seems deliberate and awkward, this is still a poignant window on the internal debate experienced by caretakers and their ability to balance the desire for a life of their own with their caregiver responsibilities."^[2]

Ernest Hady of LA Weekly wrote, "There are moments in director David Midell's NightLights that play like PSAs, but that earnestness is paved over by wonderfully affecting performances."^[3]
