Synopsis
When Angel (Dominique Fishback, The Deuce) is released from juvenile detention, she’s got a few things on her to-do list. She’s got to find her younger sister Abby (Tatum Marilyn Hall), who’s in foster care. Then she’s also got to get a gun and track down the person who tore apart her family. Part coming-of-age drama, part revenge flick, Night Comes On is the debut feature from director Jordana Spiro, who co-wrote the film with Angelica Nwandu. And the effort paid off: this critical darling picked up the NEXT Innovator Award at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.

Metacritic
This is a movie that’s honest about night coming on, but it also reminds us of the small things that will get you through that night, until the morning dawns.
Night Comes On is, true to its title, blanketed in a dim, crepuscular state of waiting. Fishback, her film career unfurling clearly before her from scene to scene, blazes a way out of it.
Restrained, affecting and tenderly observed with a distinctly female gaze, the film takes some time to locate its center as an intimate drama of resilient sisterhood. But the delicacy of the bond etched between Fishback's Angel and her 10-year-old sibling, played by captivating discovery Tatum Marilyn Hall, keeps you hooked into this melancholy but hopeful story of fractured family dynamics.
