    Combining a thoughtful script with splendid acting -- especially by Sansa -- Bellocchio has fashioned a tense thriller that is both understated and powerful.

    Bellochio, who began his career in 1965, has made some of the most trenchant Italian films on political themes, and Good Morning, Night is one more of them.

    "Good Morning Night" avoids a Hollywood ending, which is admirable, but it's conclusion is so anti-climactic, some may pine for a little political thriller-know how. What this ultimately disappointing film has going for it is a nice performance from Maya Sansa (as Chiara), who looks like an Italian Phoebe Cates, sort of.
