A Noite Sempre Chega

Totally watchable, even if a bit cliched. Acting is pretty good, especially Vanessa Kirby, but writing is mediocre, bordering on unbelievable. Still, the rating is too low and deserves to be higher. Cinematography is good. There are gaps in the plot, not sure why. We have a tradition of bad Friday night movies, but this was surprisingly entertaining.

It felt real, it certainly was no Hollywood story and certainly no Hollywood ending.

It's one of the best movies I've ever seen on Netflix and they sure have had some stinkers on there lately.

Vanessa Kirby and most of the supporting actors did a brilliant job of making the whole thing believable.

Not gonna lie, the plot progression resembles Good Time a lot more than I could anticipate, but I was also engaged the whole time, thanks to a very solid, believable showing from Vanessa Kirby. Her eyes do a lot of the talking in certain scenes, and I would never complain about the number of back shots we get of hers (..yeah, she's got a great BACK..uff!). For director Benjamin Caron, this is a slightly better effort than Sharper, more so because the events can be tied to real middle-class happenings.

I liked the conversations that the central characters keep having, showcasing sufficient detail without resorting to gimmicks like flashbacks or cutaways. Jennifer Jason Leigh, Zack Gottsagen, and Stephan James offer good support to Kirby, balancing out the plot absurdities with some level of grounded stability. I'll award this 3 stars, as this story was never meant to give you the quintessential happy ending, and it doesn't. It just concludes at a detour, and we're left to write the rest of the story ourselves. Maybe.. just maybe, it would've helped knowing Kirby's character a bit more BEFORE we jumped into the "timebound thriller" part of the plot.

Don't know what's with all the negative nellies, cool movie. Great acting by Kirby and her supprt, especially by Gottsagen who plays her special needs brother. One girl on mess of a night, a fun watch. Riveting and unexpected twists and turns with every next scene. Humorous as well with many odd interactions between characters.

There was absolutely no value to this film than showcasing a terrible family dynamic and disastrous flow of events. Disappointing to see Vanessa Kirby who is so full of potential reduce herself and waste her talents in this film.

I totally appreciate this can be the life of so many in society, some even worse than what is portrayed in the film. But my question is why and what were the key messages? We see a flawed female protagonist that's made bad life choices try to save her family and 'fight' for them but not have that reciprocated. What is the emotional payoff or point? Toxic things happen to people who make bad choices? I think you need more than that to deliver that emotional depth and stronger themes. Based on a pointless novel and a poor film. Come on Netflix stop making such poor films.
