Its two days before her 18th birthday, and shes about to be released on parole.
But shes not heading out into a hopeful sunrise.
Shes an avenging angel.
ButNight Comes Onhas a winning naturalism.
Spiro is a real filmmaker.
She has given the film a melodramatic structure Angels drive for revenge.
Spiro subtly puts the film on the side of the exorable.
But much is a matter of choice.
Spiros humanism is also in every frame.

This is a lovely, inspiring film.
