The Vast of Night has been one of those surprise finds that leaves you smiling at the end (no spoiler here) because you found the time well spent. I will refrain from stating anything about the story but will note the following:

-Acting is superb
-Cinematography sets the mood and carries it through the end
-Dialogue is well structured, convincing, and a force of its own
-The story is perfectly structured

This film did what so many great films do, teleport the viewer to another place and time, without them knowing.
