Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) It’s a thoughtful, if grim, movie, and Kirby is outstanding. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday It gets the style right and Kirby is first-rate, but the movie is a chore to watch. Rated: 2/4 Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Benjamin Caron was so convinced of Kirby’s prowess that he presumed she could carry the film, flaws and all. And she almost does. Almost. Rated: 3/5 Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL 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? Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Cameron Ritter InSession Film Overall, Night Always Comes is a fine thriller that Vanessa Kirby boosts with an exceptional performance. Rated: C+ Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Adam Schoales That Shelf Sadly, despite its stylish exterior Night Always Comes never quite rises to the level it strives for.

Jerod S 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 09/26/25 Full Review Frederick M 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 09/17/25 Full Review Brent R Not sure why the reviews aren't great. I liked it. If you don't like gritty movies, this isn't for you Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/25 Full Review Rotten P Anchored by Vanessa Kirby’s raw, magnetic performance, Night Always Comes is a tense, atmospheric plunge into Portland’s underbelly. While its script stumbles with thin character logic and underdeveloped themes, the film sustains a gripping urgency through stark visuals and relentless pacing. It may not fully land its emotional punches, but Kirby ensures it remains a bleak, memorable ride. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review phil o A thill ride fom start to finish and Vanessa Kirby is brilliant Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Carlos T Filme: A Noite Sempre Chega Assistido: 1-9-25 Elenco: @vanessa_kirby @therealzackg @juliafox @tdotsteph @thejenniferjasonleigh @realeliroth @randallparkmovie @realmichaelkelly Modelo: #suspense #drama Duração: 1h 48m Ano: 2025 Minha opinião: Vanessa Kirby é um nome que esta em grandes produções de Hollywood, Missão Impossível, John Wick, Velozes e Furiosos,...... E aqui esta como a protagonista, como sempre estamos acostumados em filmes de ação, aqui achei meio estranho, em um drama. Em que ela faz várias loucuras pelo irmão, pela mãe e pela casa, que esta prestes a perder se não levantar o dinheiro. E para isso ela é capaz de fazer de tudo, prostituir, roubar um carro, roubar da sua amiga o cofre do amante, enganar, mentir e colocar a vida do seu irmão em risco de vida. Para no final perceber que por tudo que ela lutou, não valeu de nada, pois não era o mesmo proposito de sua mãe e de seu irmão, que pensou em leva-lo, por causa da mãe. MAs descobre que ela é irmã e quem é a mãe? É a mãe e não ela, que estava querendo assumir este lugar. E que seu irmão tem esta consciência, mesmo tendo down. No final não consegue comprar a casa, seu irmão fica com a mãe que vai viver sua vida, simples assim, e ela esta livre. E mãe deu todos os sinais, quando comprou seu carro novo e foi embora com seu filho. Vale apena assistir? Você ficou curioso? Então assista. Nota: 5 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Read all reviews
