Night Always Comes

Personally, I found it much better than I was expecting…

I really want this actress to succeed but she has had bad luck with casting. Average movie at best.

Didn’t really understand the point of this movie…

The Night Always Comes wants to be a tense, street-level thriller about desperation and bad decisions. What we get instead is a sluggish slog where nothing quite lands. Vanessa Kirby plays Lynsey, a woman racing the clock to scrape together cash and stop her home from being swallowed by gentrification. You can see the bones of a good story here, but the film never lets it breathe.

Kirby gives a committed performance. She looks exhausted, haunted, constantly on edge. But the script hands her very little. Everyone she meets is either nasty, hollow, or forgettable. There’s no momentum. You just drift with her from one miserable scene to the next, waiting for a spark that never comes.

Worse, it’s hard to take Lynsey’s supposedly brutal life seriously when she looks like Vanessa Kirby. Porcelain skin, lean body, one token tattoo and some dip-dyed hair don’t exactly scream “hard-lived”. The film seems scared to actually get its hands dirty.

Compare that to Uncut Gems or Good Time, which throw you headfirst into chaos. They pulse with anxiety. They’re sweaty and loud and full of life. You feel every bad choice, every second slipping away. The Night Always Comes mimics the setup but forgets the energy. It just broods.

By the end, you’re not tense. You’re just tired.

If you liked…Uncut Gems, Good Time, A Most Violent Year, but could do without the thrills, charm, or stakes.

Definetely was hoping for more, if it wasnt for Vanessa' s career i wouldnt have watch it. Now that i did... I wish i didnt. The trailer was ok, but needed more consistence in the movie, too many characters that dont quite have enough story to be in the movie, there was wasted time in some scenes, specially in the end. Feels like this wasnt pollished enough to be released, or that the direct cut would be a better choice, or even made in a Rush to be released in digital on time rather than trying to have a good storyline, good characters, and good ending.

It is comparable to Kirby from F4 being downgraded.

Started well but kinda fizzled out in the end. We dont want to know everyday lives of the people so called American dream at least when we watch movies
