Mouzam Makkar brings a subtly to her performance as Anne, who shows her discomfort with being hassled by the stranger her friends have left her with, while at the same time not hiding her inner emotions as she remembers her traumatic past....  The Night Before The Morning After does leave the viewer wanting more.
