"PINK NIGHTS"

"Charming, well-written...a few of the supporting roles are creations of genius! A fabulous soundtrack! Pink Nights nicely captures the wonder and puzzlement of being a teen-ager."--Chicago Sun-Times

"Splendidly acted, civilized, droll and well-written, Pink Nights is the kind of thoughtful coming of age movie you didn't think they made anymore."--American Film Insitute Preview

"Recommended...a few of the bit parts are inspired off-the-wall creations."--Chicago Tribune

"A rosy indie charmer.  Perceptive, a bright nicely sketched tale of teen-age romance.  The performances are gold and silver."--Hollywood Reporter

"Acting credits are tops and even the marginal roles are expanded with a charming humor."--Variety

Online review: "The Unknown Movies Page"

"Pink Nights is a breath of fresh air in the teenage genre…blessed by having taste, intelligence, and heart."

From "Yahoo movies":

"What a Gem!
by jimparkey_1999  Oct 10, 2004

It's a wonderful story with a wonderful cast. It's in the "Risky Business' type 80s genre, but much, much more heartfelt and satisfying a film. I highly recommend it!"

"Tom Towles astonishes in a double role as the alien and killer lawyer!"--Alissa Simon, Film Center, Art Institute of Chicago
"Cheerfully venemous!  "Nice double role by Tom Towles"--Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
