An excellent, emotional ride lead by a terrific Teyana Taylor
Inez (Teyana Taylor), fresh out of prison, takes her son from the foster home. The film follows their lives for over a decade as they strive to live a happy family life in the Harlem neighborhood of New York.

The acting is what carries the film the most. Everyone is fantastic. Grade-A performances.

The simple sets are well designed, and watching as their home evolves provides a brilliant layer to this film.

The brief moments of background narration showcasing the changing city as we progress through time was brilliant.

I only minus one star because I felt that the ending wasn't very satisfying, like the Director couldn't decide on whether the finale should be optimistic or not, so they opted for an anti-ending.

But I definitely recommend everyone give A Thousand and One a watch.

Boy, was that brutal.

But not as brutal as the original Daredevil Netflix-era shows from which it follows on.

Daredevil was, I believe, the first of those Netflix-era shows (followed by Jessica Jones, then Luke Cage, the Punisher, Iron Fist and The Defenders), before they disappeared off that platform following the introduction of Disney+ and seemed to be in hibernation.

Until Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock turned up in "Spider-man: No Way Home" ("I'm a really good lawyer), hinting towards his other persona before also appearing in Disney Plus's "She-Hulk" and having a cameo in "Echo".

Vincent D'Onforia's Kingpin, for his part, appeared in both "Hawkeye" and "Echo".

But this, I believe, is the first time the two of them have shared a screen since the Netflix era, with - here - both seemingly haven given up their old ways until becomes mayor of New York ...
