In "Vanessa Kirby's Harrowing Journey: A Night of Desperation and Hope"

Survival takes center stage in the upcoming thriller that pairs Emmy and Oscar nominee Vanessa Kirby with filmmaker Benjamin Caron in their second collaboration since working together on acclaimed series "The Crown."

The film presents an intimate portrait of desperation as we follow a woman named Lynette through one perilous night where every decision carries potentially devastating consequences. Kirby's character embarks on a high-stakes mission to preserve her family's home—the physical manifestation of their hopes for stability and security.

"This story examines who in our society gets to feel protected and what sacrifices are demanded from those who don't," explains the director. "It's about quiet heroism in the face of overwhelming odds."

The screenplay, crafted by Sarah Conradt, explores themes of redemption and self-worth as Lynette confronts demons from her past while fighting for her family's future. Each moment pushes her further toward either salvation or self-destruction.

Kirby's dual role as both star and producer brought unique depth to the project. "Her involvement from the conceptual stages created something special," Caron notes. "She infuses Lynette with unpredictable energy while maintaining profound humanity—showing someone not merely reacting to circumstances but actively fighting to shape her destiny despite teetering dangerously close to the edge."

The film promises a visceral experience when it arrives on Netflix this August, challenging viewers to consider what they might risk when everything meaningful hangs in the balance.

Vanessa Kirby anchors a tense, character-driven drama adapted from Willy Vlautin’s 2021 novel The Night Always Comes.

She’s supported by an eclectic ensemble that includes Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight; Fargo), Zack Gottsagen (The Peanut Butter Falcon), Stephan James (If Beale Street Could Talk), Julia Fox (Uncut Gems), Eli Roth (Inglourious Basterds), Randall Park (Always Be My Maybe; WandaVision) and Michael Kelly (House of Cards).

Director Caron says the book’s emotional center steered the adaptation, while the film medium demanded a sharper sense of urgency so audiences feel every setback, betrayal and fleeting hope.

The production keeps Lynette at the story’s core, shaping scenes so the character occupies nearly every frame.

Portland, Oregon, was used as more than scenery: its rows of foreclosed houses and pockets of gentrification are employed to echo Lynette’s personal collapse and tensions.

The movie was shot on location in Portland and will debut on Netflix on Aug. 15.
