Night Ride (2020) | Directed by Eirik Tveiten

A still from the film NIGHT RIDE.
3.5/5
Eirik Tveiten’s Night Ride is such a charming short film, one with a lovely sense of discovery as the main character fumbles her way through her attempt to drive the tram she has accidentally stolen. The film uses the confines of the tram exceptionally well – isolating our main character from her unintended passengers and keeping the incident of harassment she tries to ignore just over her shoulder. It’s so moving to see a film that encourages active involvement when harassment occurs, and the character’s approach to challenging fragile and toxic masculinity is absolutely delightful.
