Leave your thoughts about A Thousand and One.
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Sarah-Tai BlackIt is tempting to call A Thousand and One a love letter of sorts, but a more accurate read might be one of heartbreak. There is love here, certainly, but more than that there is frustration, anger and sadness at the way the world refuses to help those trying hardest to endure within it. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayThis is a tough, beautiful, honest and bracingly hopeful movie about mutual care and unconditional love, with a transformative and indelible performance at its core. A Thousand and One isn’t just worth seeing — it’s worth celebrating. |
| The New York TimesManohla DargisIn A Thousand and One, [Rockwell] packs a great deal into her filmmaking, which bristles with looks, gestures, bodies in breakneck motion and expressionistic jolts of color that — like Gary Gunn’s gorgeous score — complicate and deepen the outwardly simple story. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonFirst-time feature director A.V. Rockwell, working from her own script, tells an epic tale in miniature. |
| The New YorkerRichard BrodyRockwell’s vigorous detailing of personal life—with its evocation of inner lives—is at the heart of its political vision and of its dramatic strength. |
| Austin ChronicleAlejandra MartinezA Thousand and One paints a deeply felt portrait of maternal love and family. |
| The Associated PressLindsey BahrThis is not a movie that will leave you feeling especially warm and fuzzy – it is often devastating. But it’s also bursting with hope for the future in this deeply human story of how one woman decided to devote her life to ensuring that her son’s would be brighter. |
| Slant MagazineDerek SmithThe film brims with authenticity and the electrifying emotional intensity of the best melodramas. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshThe film is utterly absorbing, anchored by the unpredictable performance of Taylor, playing a hopelessly complicated, but deeply caring woman. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsA Thousand and One, this year’s top jury prize winner at the Sundance Film Festival, puts you through it, but with real feeling, real stakes and an authentic vision guided by a fiercely commanding performance by Teyana Taylor as Inez. |
