Observer (UK)

Kirby is a little too glossy and glowing of complexion to convince as a woman who works three jobs and gets most of her nutrition from bar snacks and bourbon.

The Age (Australia)

It’s a thoughtful, if grim, movie, and Kirby is outstanding.

Rated: 3.5/5

It gets the style right and Kirby is first-rate, but the movie is a chore to watch.

Rated: 2/4

Night Always Comes is the very definition of less than the sum of its parts.

The movie’s biggest casting error is front and center. Is anybody less plausible to play a beat-down American named Lynette than the elegant Kirby, who grew up posh in London?

Found this movie an Adventure that kept giving and can put you in the drivers seat with the main character’s frustrating twists and turns on her adventure to do what it takes to get what you need no matter how deep the trouble becomes. She learnt to stand up for herself and get the shitty tasks done. Love this 4 stars and great fighting fun along the way. Worth the watch

Performances overcome script potholes enough to make this watchable. Another script edit, particularly last act, would have boosted the film significantly - potential wasted.

How does a whole production crew get together and not realize you can’t use unverified cash as a down payment on a mortgage?

Kirby plays desperate Lynette who is trying to gather $25k in order to save her home. Her brother has downs and her mom is Jennifer Jason Leigh (who is insufferable).

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Vanessa Kirby is striking. She always is. To see her in such a desperate role, and that she does it so well, is incredible. Se plays such strong, feminine roles, like in Mission Impossible, where she is so empowered. She is a disempowered character here, but still so intense and strong. If I had a sister as stupid as the role Jennifer Jason Leigh plays, I would have shot her. These stupid, mindless, entitled people. I would not normally watch a movie ir like this, but Vanessa Kirby actors the whole movie. Incredible, tight, acting. So impressive. She always amazes me.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
