Todo el día y una noche

I see a lot of low ratings and they're probably coming from millenials who aren't familiar with this kind of movie. You see, hood movies haven't changed much in the last 30 years or so (and as a big movie fan I respect that), probably because the hood hasn't changed much either. This movie could've easily be made in 1997 just like One eight seven could've been made in 2020... While for example, teenage movies in the 90s were about this kid who lost his dog or built a treehouse with his friends; and nowadays teenage movies are about teenagers collecting Instagram likes or being recruited by the government and transformed into cyborgs. So if you liked hood movies back in the 90s or 2000s, you will like this one too, if not then go find yourself some nice kid-becomes-a-cyborg movie

"All Day and a Night" is an unflinching portrait of cycles of violence and systemic problems that plague urban communities, with the calling card of a very strong central performance from Ashton Sanders. Gritty realism and heartfelt exploration of a single man in his quest to fight through the baggage that fate would have him carry make both poignant and thought-provoking moments. However, this often straddled narrative device between past and present makes it feel disjointed, which bodes well neither for the flow nor the emotional impact. Though well-acted, the supporting characters feel underdeveloped, and some of the story arcs feel underbaked. "All Day and a Night" is still an emotionally moving drama and covers urgent social issues, even if its execution is far from perfect.

I had a good time watching 'All Day and a Night'. You can see it's well made, has a strong cast and features an engaging story. It isn't perfect of course, but it's a more than decent film.

Ashton Sanders impresses the most in my opinion, he plays Jah excellently - I could appreciate what they were telling about his role, which is thanks to Sanders as much as it is to Joe Robert Cole & Co. Jeffrey Wright, who I like a lot as an actor, is up to scratch as J.D., even if his character comes across, at least to me, a little stereotypical at moments.

It's a story very nicely told, I like how it portrays it mostly via flashbacks. I guess you could argue a few parts are overly entwined, but overall I think they did a very solid job. Well worth a watch.

I really don't understand who doesn't like this movie. Most of them waiting for happy ending. Sorry guys, I have a bad news for you, art of cinema is not a stupid fairy tales, it's a mirror of real life. And yes, there are lives like these characters.

This is one of the finest black movie to see..The role of young black boy is super awesome..he played it like real...the whole movie keep me going..
