A Thousand and One

8/10
Teyana Taylor absolutely excels in this role, but the acting across the board was great. Had a lot of beautiful shots and although the story kind of drags in the middle it lifts right back up for an emotional ending. Good movie and an even better lead performance

The long journey of an angsty mother to raise a quiet Black boy while being poor and depressed in New York.

This movie does a great job building a relationship with the characters and feeling for what they are going through.

This movie was so emotional, like it really captured how complicated life can be for some. I was not expecting the secret to be that! which I just love that it wasn’t predictable. Great movie 8/10

This movie was truly a heartfelt movie and in the end even tho the ending was sad she got the freedom and happiness she deserved after realizing she did an amazing job as a mother

Teyana Taylor acted so well. A deeply emotional story about a parent and child relationship. Sometimes it’s better not to know things. A wonderful performance from a grown up Terry too. 7/10.
