As a gamer, diving headfirst into the movie adaptation of Willy Vlautin’s top-selling novel, I find myself stepping into Lynette’s shoes for one harrowing night. She’s navigating through the grim corners of her past, all in a desperate bid to avoid losing her home by sunrise. The stakes are high – if she can’t muster up $25,000 by then, it’s game over for her house.

Should the compelling nature of the urgent thriller not yet persuade you, let me provide three strong reasons why you should catch a glimpse of “Night Always Comes“.

If the thrilling aspect of this urgent movie hasn’t swayed you yet, here are three solid arguments to watch “Night Always Comes“.

What to Read Next

1. Vanessa Kirby

As a dedicated fan, I can honestly say that Vanessa Kirby’s portrayal of Lynette in this production is more than enough reason for me to watch. If you’re seeking additional persuasion, let me assure you that her performance is truly exceptional, surpassing even her remarkable role as Sue Storm in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, a testament to her versatility and talent.

In less skilled hands, a character such as Lynette – with a history that encompasses prostitution, rage problems, and homelessness – might morph into a stereotype, particularly considering the extreme measures she undertakes throughout the film. However, Kirby skilfully crafts her into a multi-dimensional figure. Despite her impulsive behavior, you’ll find yourself readily connecting with her on an emotional level.

In “Night Always Comes,” Kirby takes center stage, backed by a gifted ensemble featuring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Michael Kelly, Zack Gottsagen, and Stephan James. However, the performance is truly Kirby’s masterpiece, leaving audiences in awe with her stunning portrayal.

2. It’s unpredictable – and relatable

Primarily, “Night Always Comes” is an exhilarating thriller where Lynette desperately turns to anyone for assistance, ultimately getting pulled back into a past life she believed was long gone.

Each encounter could unfold differently, and notably, it’s hard to predict Lynette’s response to every challenge that arises. Sometimes, she may not choose the conventional path, which adds an element of tension to every scene, ensuring viewers remain captivated.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve got to say that this movie hits close to home. Even though it cranks up the tension to epic levels, it manages to keep things grounded with stakes that feel strikingly relatable. The housing crisis it delves into could easily be transposed to my own backyard – the UK. It’s a chilling reminder that one wrong move or late paycheck could push someone over the edge and out of their home, a reality that feels all too real.

Despite not always being able to fully support Lynette’s extreme measures, it’s easy to connect with her on an emotional level and share a sense of understanding for the challenging predicaments she often faces.

3. The ending

The uncertainty of “Night Always Comes” persists right until the end, skillfully offering an unforeseen yet fulfilling conclusion that encapsulates one of Lynette’s most harrowing nights.

In a poignant closing moment, I found myself deeply moved as Lynette, speaking for myself here, sat down for a touching goodbye chat with her mom, Doreen (the incredible Leigh). Kirby’s performance beautifully conveyed a crushing revelation that left me breathless.

As a dedicated fan, I won’t let a slightly somber conclusion dampen my spirits. The final beats offer a glimmer of hope that will resonate long after the credits begin to unfurl.

Night Always Comes is now available to watch on Netflix.

Here it is, rephrased for a more conversational and easy-to-understand style: “The latest print issue from Digital Spy is out! You can grab a copy of ‘Oasis – Live in ’25’ at newsagents or online now, available at an affordable price of £8.99!
