All Day and a Night
Ashton Sanders (Moonlight) and Jeffrey Wright (Westworld) star in this in this sons-and-fathers crime drama about the cycle of gangster life - and one man's attempt to break the chain. From the co-writer of Black Panther.
Jahkor (Sanders) never wanted to be like his father (Wright), and his father never wanted to see his son in prison. Yet somehow finding themselves together as inmates seemed inevitable. In an unlikely journey of self-discovery, Jakhor explores the dangerous world that unites them, hoping to help his newborn son break a cycle that feels inescapable.

pressMay sound like a hard movie to sell, since it never falsifies gangsta “thrills.” Yet there’s an excitement to seeing this landscape of yearning hunger and cyclic rage treated with neorealist humanity.
