Powerful Performances Undermined by a Familiar Narrative

"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.
