Great, but not superb.Īlthough One Night Stand contains more foreboding heft than the average TV movie, it still looks, sounds, and feels like a TV movie. Characters are well-formed, believable, and continually ambiguous, while a focus on inanimate objects, and the relation to their animate counterparts, provides a constant state of odd flux. The mood jumps from romantic schmaltz to grim anxiousness to shared comfort in a matter of seconds. Although entirely dialogue-based, emotions never sit still.

One Night Stand is a small-scale character study which finds fascination in psychological damage and socio-sexual mores. Daisy hits “play” on one of Rafe’s demo tapes. Rafe wanders through some neighborly sex games. But before the two can consummate their casual tryst, the phone rings. Rafe is an unemployed singer-songwriter who, as if by magic, finds himself sharing Daisy’s cab, then her hi-rise apartment, then her sofa bed. Stood-up by her married lover, Daisy decides to hit the clubs and live it up. Consequently, foresight is impossible - for both the film and its audience. Whether setting out to mine luscious delirium ( Things), debilitating gloom ( Deadline), or concentrated shittiness ( Survival 1990), our Great White Northern friends consistently take it to the limit, a fact which finds the engaging, made-for-TV One Night Stand in perfect company.
