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.
...a tough but rewarding watch
There is nothing new or striking here, but rather emphatically emotional, in a film about decisions that never quite convinces in terms of hypothetical revenge.
It has a positive force playing out as a revenge thriller.
...pays special attention to tender touches.
Every year people go to Sundance hoping to discover some new, emerging voices in cinema. Night Comes On represents many voices, from Spiro and co-writer Angelica Nwandu's to stars Fishback and Hall's.
This revenge film with unshakable heart is an assured debut for most of those involved.
