Long Nights Short Mornings, written and directed by Chadd Harbold, follows in the footsteps of the “playboy in crisis” sub-genre, populated by the likes of Alfie, Shampoo, Arthur, and Roger Dodger. ‘I do so many stupid things. I don’t know why,’ says James (Shiloh Fernandez), attempting to rekindle one of a number of lovers he’ll encounter throughout the film’s 95 minutes.
Each conquest is designated by each woman’s name. Monica (Paten Hughes) is a one-night stand thwarted by some lost keys; Sarah (Layla Khoshnoudi) is a good friend who becomes something more, for a few minutes anyway; Lily (Stella Maeve) is a steady hook-up about to slip away. The list, much like the nights, go on and on.
James wanders through New York City as though in an endless loop, constantly on his way back to a home he will never get to. The city is captured...
