The new Netflix movie, The Night Always Comes, has become the number one title on the platform, surpassing major hits like The K-Pop Warriors and My Year in Oxford. This crime thriller, which has a runtime of 110 minutes, is directed by Benjamin Caron and features a standout performance by Vanessa Kirby, known for her role in The Crown and her recent part in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Kirby has been nominated for an Oscar for her work in the drama Pieces of a Woman.

The story centers on Lynette, a woman facing serious financial difficulties who has only 12 hours to save her home. To avoid eviction, Lynette is forced to get involved in criminal activities in Portland, a path filled with risks and desperation that reflects the daily struggles of many people in similar situations.
The film is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by author Willy Vlautin, and its narrative has resonated with an audience seeking intense and moving dramas. In this sense, The Night Always Comes serves as a critique of the social conditions that lead people to make desperate decisions.
The cast also includes renowned artists such as Jennifer Jason Leigh, Randall Park, and Julia Fox, which has generated even more interest in the film. Despite the fierce competition and the records set by The K-Pop Warriors, which has become the second most-watched movie in Netflix history, The Night Always Comes has managed to position itself at the top and capture the audience’s attention.
