The quest-plot puts a solid frame around what's essentially a sensitive study of a shattered family, poorly served by the social institutions meant to keep them safe.
An unusual and interesting feature that tries to convey the inner state of a non-communicative young woman mainly through reaction shots of her face.
Though slow, it's intense, and you're hooked from its first scene... to its last, wrenching image. Spiro is a real filmmaker.
Like its determined heroine, "Night Comes On" burns with a smoldering fire, a heat that is no less intense, no less effective, for remaining largely beneath the surface.
Fortunately, Night Comes On continues to dial back its sense of drama for its long-awaited final confrontations, which offer open endings that hint at a future worth pursuing.
A film that balances penetrating clarity with compassion.
