Anyone see it? Pretty sure this and Promising Young Woman are uniformly my top two of the whole year right now. If it has any issues, it's a equal perspective for both Goree And Hodges who feel shortchanged by the material.

Yes, quite liked it. Think all four actors were great but it did feel like Hodge got the least of the four characters. I actually think Goree got some good meat. He grew on me, but I vastly enjoy his Ali to Smith's.

Not to hijack your thread with a different movie, but have you seen Tenet yet?
If so, I haven’t seen your thoughts on it and would love to know.
If not, get on it.

He grew on me, but I vastly enjoy his Ali to Smith's. I wonder if it has to do with audience familiarity as well, Goree isn't as established at all, so thus very easy for him as far as embodying Ali goes, he has no real iconography yet at all, Also Ben Adir and Hodges were my MVP as well.

Many movies based on plays have a flawed visual presentation. Is that also the case with ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI... (the real story of a meeting between Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, Jim Brown and Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali)? Yes and no. Even though the dialogues and the performances are good enough to make the plot compelling, Regina King's directing and Tariq Anwar's editing are what prevent each conversation from feeling stale. Unfortunately, the lighting is unappealing and the color palette is ugly. No, I don't just mean inside the motel room where most of the story takes place in. Except for the few daytime scenes, every location has those issues. 7/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog. |

No, that's what I meant with "visual presentation."
