Night Always Comes, a new Netflix thriller starring Vanessa Kirby, is storming the streamer's movie chart -- with fans calling it "raw", "tense", and "brilliant". Those tuning in seem to be loving the Fantastic Four: First Steps star's performance in particular, too, with many describing her as "magnetic" and "understatedly fierce".

Written by Sarah Conradt and directed by Benjamin Caron (The Crown, Andor), the film landed on August 15 and is based on Willy Vlautin's 2001 book of the same name. It follows Lynette (Kirby), a 30-something living in Pittsburgh, as she goes to extreme measures to raise $25,000 in one night in the hopes of saving her family from eviction.

"Much to admire in NIGHT ALWAYS COMES, Benjamin Caron's tense, character based thriller – starting with, of course, Vanessa Kirby's understatedly fierce work & great support from Stephan James, Julia Fox & Jennifer Jason Leigh, who might have starred in this film 30 years ago," added a third.

Night Always Comes is streaming now. For more, check out our picks of the best Netflix thrillers to fill out your watchlist.
