FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/night-always-comes-review-vanessa-kirby-shines-in-a-film-that-fumbles-its-potential/
"Night Always Comes falls short of its ambition. There's a powerful story here - the moral erosion provoked by systems that always fail the same people - but the film never finds the most impactful way to tell it.
Atmosphere and performances elevate the material, with Vanessa Kirby in particular carrying the story's weight with a commitment that deserved a sharper script. Yet between redundancy, lack of subtlety, and indecision between bitter satire and taut thriller, the experience slips into frustration and overemphasis.
When the night ends, what remains is the sense that all that noise amounted to very little meaning."
Rating: C-
