This movie demanded a rating and a review from me ; that is how good it is. You to to the movies hoping to see something this well made and feel lucky if you get that result.
I Came out of the theater feeling so glad that I saw it. The first thing you have to say is that this is storytelling at its absolute best.
In the beginning a few scenes seem bit strained but because of the acting and direction the movie just gets better and better and without spoiling anything , you think you know what's going on but you don't which makes for a surprising plot twist at the end.
I am not black but this movie feels genuine and authentic in the way ' Emily the Criminal ' did. This movie would not have been made without ' independent funding ' : no studio movie this and no big budget or gimmicks, just great acting, story telling , concept and direction. Certain to be picked up by a streaming platform cuz maybe the the content they finance and produce will never come close to the quality of 'A Thousand and One '

This movie was so well done, from start to finish! The talented cast seamlessly conveyed the compelling storyline. Moving the audience through their heartfelt emotions. I really enjoyed the movie and every emotion I have was stirred. Highly recommend seeing it if you havent already. Teyana is an amazing actress!. I loved the 90s vibe, and I was completely shocked by the plot twist. I definitely wasn't expecting that outcome. I really enjoyed the movie and every emotion I have was stirred.

I guess my next question would be...what's next?
This features quite a strong performance from a convincing Teyana Taylor. She is "Inez" who decides that she wants to reclaim her young son "Terry" from his life on the streets of New York. What now ensues illustrates quite well the difficulties they both face as they both grow up with little by way of opportunity - or money - but determined to stick together despite their not always seeing eye to eye. Along the way, she marries "Lucky" (William Catlett), a decent man who offers some stability and it begins to look like "Terry" (by this stage played by Josiah Cross, but played well as a child by Aaron Kingsley Adetola) might just have a chance. Thing is, as the audience know by now, the relationship between mother and son is not as it seems - and the impending action of the authorities, coupled with a rather unscrupulous landlord, look like the wrecking ball is en route to their dreams. It meanders a bit too much for me, this film. It could have easily lost twenty minutes and the writing could have focussed better on developing the "Terry" character a little more, but it's still quite a powerful assessment of family values, loyalty and civic indifference that ought to make anyone sit up and take notice. It doesn't need a big screen - but is worth a watch on the telly.
Since the trailer I was drawn to Teyana Taylor's portrayal of a mother trying to make ends met to raise her son. I was not disappointed in her performance in the slightest. She absolutely deserves recognition for her role in this film. William Catlett was also very good and had good chemistry with Teyana. All the other actors were also very convincing in their roles. I would just say I expected a bit more emotion from Josiah Cross in one of the scenes towards the end of the film.
This movie does a great job at portraying the grittiness of New York and the hardships that many have to endure. The film does a good job at building the relationships between the main three characters. The problem with this film is that it took too long to get into the climax. Constant situations would arise but it was apparent that there had to be something more to the story being told. The audience is left waiting too long for that major turning point in the film.
When the film finally got to that much awaited moment it did deliver a heartwarming moment. This is a very deep story and I would recommend people watch it for how real and relatable the story is.

A social drama that is not as predictable as first thought. Fashion model, actress and artist Teyana Taylor stars as the restless and determined Inez. I have never seen her in a film role before, but I can say that she carries this film to a great extent. The film is written by A. V. Rockvell, who also directs. The film largely succeeds in being an engaging drama about an era from the mid-90s and 10 years into the future. The film depicts difficult social conditions, this time the action is set in New York. The liberating thing about the film is that even though the main character faces a lot of opposition and is far down the ladder financially and socially, she never gives up. The film could easily have ended as a description of misery, but Teyana makes sure to give life and commitment to the main character who appears as a primal force who fights fiercely for what she believes in.
I won't reveal the surprising element here, but I'm looking forward to upcoming films from A. V. Rockwell. We need films that give us insight into exciting characters. Not everything has to be popcorn movies.
