To all Netflix users: a brand new thriller to add to your list is here, and it features one of the best British actresses of our generation.
Night Always Comes, a crime drama with The Crown and The Fantastic Four star Vanessa Kirby in the lead, has just landed on the streamer.
The film follows a woman who faces eviction from her family home in a city that they can no longer afford. Over the course of one night, she becomes increasingly desperate as she faces dangerous situations in a bid to raise $25,000.

Night Always Comes is based on the bestselling novel by Willy Vlautin, which follows Lynette (Vanessa Kirby) as she is forced to confront her dark past as she embarks on a dangerous odyssey, risking everything she has to secure her family’s house.
As the narrative unfolds, things become increasingly tense and haunting as Lynette is pushed closer to the edge trying to get the money together.
Who’s in Night Always Comes?
Vanessa Kirby is enough of a draw to any film, in my opinion – I adored her Oscar-nominated performance in Pieces Of A Woman, also on Netflix, and I thought she had an absolute star-making turn in Ridley Scott’s Napoleon, to which I was otherwise indifferent.

What are viewers saying about the film?
Netflix users have taken to social media to express their feelings about the film, and the reception has been overwhelmingly positive.
One person wrote, on X: “Vanessa Kirby is brilliant in Night Always Comes. Once again, she delivers a strong and nuanced performance.”

“Kirby is captivating, natural, subtle, gritty and heartbreaking. Zack Gottsagen is great.”
A third noted: “Night Always Comes is a depressing story of resilience and desperation, driven by a raw, powerful Vanessa Kirby performance that’s full of fiery intensity. Anything that can go wrong does, but the building tension and uncomfortable suspense makes this a worthy watch on Netflix.”
