"Night always comes" My Review

Firstly, I don't like being misled because this particular movie did a thing to me, or should I say it's the title that did that thing to me. So let me take you guys to the beginning where it all started.

When I first saw the title of the movie, my expectations became very high because I was in for horror scenes that would sweep me off my feet. I said to myself, "I can't wait for those scenes to unfold." Then I dived into the movie, and the seconds started counting. The beginning seemed normal till everything started taking a different turn. The only mistake I made was not watching the trailer before embarking on that journey.

The Plot

The movie "Night always comes" tells the story of a girl named "Lynette" who keeps multiple jobs just to keep her childhood home. Lynette lives with her mother, "Doreen," and her older brother, "Kenny," who has Down syndrome.

The house Lynette and her family live in is up for renewal, but Lynette, on the other hand, doesn't possess the finances required to acquire the house forever. So Lynette and her mother were to meet with someone at the bank to acquire a loan that would enable them to settle the house fund.

On the day of the meeting, Lynette's mother is nowhere to be found. Arriving home from the bank, Lynette discovers that her mother has purchased a brand new car worth twenty-five thousand dollars, which is equivalent to the amount needed to secure the house.

Lynette has to look at different possible means to acquire a loan that would enable her to secure the house for her family. It contains a lot of plot twists, so I will leave you to watch it for yourself in order not to be a spoiler.

My Review

I'm gonna start by giving out my flowers to the lead cast "Vanessa Kirby", she deserves it and even more, she embodied that character so well, that I couldn't predict if I was seeing a movie or a real event occurring in front of me. Her performance contains elements of vulnerability. The fact that she doesn't need any flashy dialogue to make you feel what she is going through is something that got me glued to my screen.

This movie kept me on the edge of my seat all through thereby allowing different scenes to unfold, unpredictable scenes. I was always waiting for the next action to happen, and before I knew it, it was making me pay more attention to the movie in order not to feel wanting or look clueless and confused.

The movie was a brilliant one I'm not gonna lie. At some point, I felt like Lynette's mother was not helping with the whole thing happening in the house. I mean, she would have told Lynette that she didn't want the house due to reasons best known to her, instead of allowing Lynette to hustle for something that doesn't seem possible.

The question I kept asking myself is, "How would Lynette raise twenty thousand dollars in just one night?" That is the most impossible thing I've ever heard. Though she tried every possible means to raise the money, she was still faced with some setbacks.

I feel like Lynette was busy fighting for her family when the family she was fighting for wasn't doing the same for her. "Now that can be pitiful," knowing that the people you are doing everything for aren't seeing the impact you are making. I felt pained seeing that her mother did not approve of her plans.

Lynette lacked love and support from her mother, but then, looking at the bright side, she had her older brother, who supported and showed her that she had someone, even if it was just him.
I'm gonna rate this movie an 8/10
