The new Vanessa Kirby Netflix movie, Night Always Comes —which began streaming on Netflix today—is a bleak portrayal of the economic crisis in America right now. For those living paycheck to paycheck, the film plays out like a living nightmare of just how close so many Americans are to becoming homeless.

Based on the 2021 novel by author/musician Willy Vlautin (The Motel Life, Lean on Pete), Night Always Comes is the latest Vanessa Kirby vehicle for Netflix following her breakout role as Princess Margaret on the Emmy Award-winning smash The Crown & her first Oscar-nominated role as young mother Martha in Pieces of a Woman.
