All Day and a Night

I'm a Huge Ashton Sanders fan so I really wanted to like this movie but the writing just didn't do it for me. Great cinematography with beautiful colors and textures in the film but the script and storyline was very dry. I feel like this movie was a waste of the actors talents.

The movie had no soul... maybe the writers should do some more research on "the hood"

Extremely powerful picture. What some may view as your stereotypical black film goes beyond that. The film is nuanced in such a way that those who can't begin to understand the life of a large number of minorities in America, and what they go through, may not appreciate. The film is not meant to be a gangster film, but a film that depicts multigenerational struggles, complex father-son relationships and the fight to break the cycle bred by systemic poverty and the pipeline to prison. A film that simply isn't meant for the ignorant minds of those who wish to stay ignorant, but those who understand the challenges in America.

Jeffrey Wright, per usual, is excellent in his character development and Ashton Sanders continues to flourish and grow as actor.

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.

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..

Ashton Sanders is mysterious, brooding and complex, similar to his role in Moonlight.

Very disappointing to see reviewers reduce this beautifully done film down to a "hood movie".

If you simply appreciate good art, you'll savor every minute. Not for the squeamish. Not for those who do not like thinking while watching movies. Not for those who embrace prejudices.
