Set on one single day in August 1912 at the family's Connecticut seaside home, the story follows the Tyrone family as it faces the looming dual spectres of Edmund's potentially fatal consumption diagnosis alongside his mother Mary's increasingly fragile and anxious state of mind. The family knows that the situation threatens to return her to the severe morphine addiction that was only recently overcome.

Jessica Lange’s Oscar-worthy performance anchors Long Day’s Journey Into Night, but a few more liberties with the play might have made the adaptation as compelling onscreen as it is onstage. Go to Full Review Neely Swanson Easy Reader (California) Sep 28, 2026
See this film even if you have seen the play, see it because it’s a very good rendition of an American theater classic, an excellent introduction to the work of Eugene O’Neill. Go to Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending Sep 25, 2026

Lange’s beguiling work is nothing short of astonishing. If the film is seen, and it should be, she must be in the awards conversation. Go to Full Review Lauren LaMagna Next Best Picture Sep 25, 2026
7/10
Here, with a stellar cast, Kent allows audiences who do not live in a theater-based city the opportunity to experience this epic play. And with the stellar performances, it is worth seeing for that reason alone. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
