New Release Review - "Night Always Comes"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler

There comes a time in every British actress's career where they trade period frocks for black roots and henna tattoos to portray a member of the American working class. Vanessa Kirby's time for this rite of passage has arrived with Night Always Comes, which sees her reteam with The Crown director Benjamin Caron. Kirby may have left the palace but she's in a right royal mess in this film, which mashes together the "one crazy night" format of movies like After Hours and Collateral with an Uncut Gems/Small World of Sammy Lee-esque story of a desperate attempt to gather a sum of money in a limited window.

"She's Like the Wind"

The first thing you'll see upon entering the gallery at Deep Space (77 Cornelison St.) is the shadow-outline of a woman's leg. There it is, on a chartreuse background, sticking straight up in the air with a curvaceous bare foot inches from the ceiling. That's all of the subject of "Lemon Lime Toe of God" that the oil painter Delilah Ray Miske is willing to show us. The rest of the body, she implies, is splayed out on a bed. We know it's summer because the window is closed and the air conditioner is plugged in. There's a pretty good chance that the possessor of the leg is undressed. In one hand, she holds a cellphone, and she might be broadcasting something. On the wall, a small whip-like broomstick hangs. It could be the ride of a tiny witch. It could be the professional tool of a dominatrix.
