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.

Jaw dropping twist, loved almost ever second of it! One thing I’d change is the character of T when he was a younger boy, I felt his role could’ve been played better with someone with more emotion or better skills/knowledge with acting.

little heavy to watch sometimes
nice cinematography and production design

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
