O.G.

Jeffrey Wright is an exceptional actor and what I know of prison life from those I have spoken with the story was on point. However despite the excellent performance by Jeffrey Wright the story seemed incomplete. There was something else to say that was left unsaid. I just needed a little more and perhaps I would have given it at least an eight. it's still a worthy watch for those who appreciate a smart drama and to see the Stellar acting job from Jeffrey Wright.

Madeleine Sackler, of the infamous Oxy-murder Sackler family, waxes poetic while completely ignoring her family's responsibility for a wave of murder and destruction that claimed the lives of over 600,000 Americans. Nan Goldin was thrown out of the premiere for protesting this film. HBO and Tribeca should be ashamed.

Read Empire of Pain if you want to hear about how this tone deaf blood heiress strategically avoided the fact that the prison she was filming in was likely filled with people who were put there as a result of her family's products. I hope she gets chased out of the country for good.

I learned something about prison life. Honest, good portrayal by Jeffrey Wright.

Jeffrey Wright gives an unflinching and pretty amazing portrayal of former prison gang leader 'Lois' who is nearing the end of his 24 year sentence in a maximum security prison. When a new inmate shifts the balance of prison society Lois must decide between protecting himself or getting involved in the brewing conflict.

There isn't really much of a story here, just a realistic view of prison life unlike anything I've seen before. The movie has a bit of a documentary feel to it because of where and how its filmed. Wright's performance is unflinching and very real feeling, probably the sole reason I stuck with this. Enjoyed his interactions with the warden William Fichtner and also how scared and uncertain Lois was to return to the outside world. Worth a watch.

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.
