This film felt like cinema at its finest. The moral and psychological dilemma's the main character, Louis, was going through played out in a beautiful nuanced way. Jeffrey Wright once again becomes the character he is playing in a way that makes you feel for them. Great film among the noise.
In my case, he was the basic motif for see this film. And his performance was the prize . Because it is a honest portrait of jail life, nuanced picture of a man after 24 years in prison and his steps to freedom. The friendship with a young man and the obstacles to the end of the life out of society. Right game with the expectations and suppositions of the viewer. And the blank end. Jeffrey Wright does a great job. Not surprising. But the best word about a film who gives not revelations or impressive twists, being more a correct one.
I guess I watched a different movie than some of the other reviewers. I thought Jeffrey Wright's performance was brilliant. The subtle realism of the writing was terrific.
For me o.g wasn't that bad. Almost all of this movie power come from it's background. Which is pretty amazing. I mean you can feel so much strong grip from something that only tell by story not scene. But, they look like wasn't utilize this power and decide to go easy on the main story movie.
They put a tiny laugh in this movie, and it's fun to have that in this kind of movie. The visual sometime may surprise you.
The hand wall scene was unnecessary for me.
