Leave your thoughts about Night Comes On.
| Monsters and CriticsFred TopelEvery 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. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferAn unflinching, understated and genuinely heartfelt drama with a raw, breakthrough performance by Dominique Fishback. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranLike 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. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakThe whole therefore hinges upon Fishback’s performance and she assuredly carries it upon her shoulders. |
| The PlaylistKyle KohnerAside from its phenomenal script and performances, Night Comes On delights with stunning visuals. |
| New York Magazine/VultureDavid EdelsteinThough slow, it’s intense, and you’re hooked from its first scene — Angel’s final meeting with the detention authorities — to its last, wrenching image. Spiro is a real filmmaker. |
| Under the RadarMatthew PassantinoNight Comes On sneaks up on you when you least expect it. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenThis is a movie that’s honest about night coming on, but it also reminds us of the small things that will get you through that night, until the morning dawns. |
| Black Girl NerdsJamie BroadnaxNight Comes On will stick with you long after turning it off, yearning for more female-driven stories like this one and hoping they become just as poignant as other films to broader audiences. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzThe movie never entirely convinces us that its heroine has the capacity to kill, although her pain and loss are conveyed with skill by Fishback. |
