Previously Alex Lutz created "Guy" which I thought was solid with some good concepts and dialogue. Strangers by Night is a typical romance French story but with some solid moments of good dialogue and direction.
Lutz direction on the dialogue, setting and tone is pretty good as it felt focused. The performances are good, while nothing amazing, they were mainly pretty good on emotions. However, the narrative really isn't special as it was pretty predictable, including a twist that was predictable miles away. Some of the dialogue is a little rough, some pacing could be better, and it's clear Lutz has taken too much influence on Richard Linklater's The Before Trilogy which ends up making it feel stale at the end.
Overall, not bad but it's watchable for one time.
