“Night Shift, by protean filmmaker, Anne Fontaine, is a tight, suspenseful and timely ‘policier’ set in Paris about two male and one female officers accompanying a mute refugee, denied asylum, on his way to deportation from the airport to probable execution back in his native Tajikistan. The trip does not go as planned.” —Laurence Kardish, FilmColumbia co-artistic director and former senior film curator at MoMA
