About This Movie

A.V. Rockwell's A Thousand and One dives deep into the gritty underbelly of 90s New York. Inez's journey, as she snatches her son from foster care, unfolds in a raw, unfiltered way. The film’s pacing feels like a slow burn, allowing you to truly feel the weight of her choices. It’s not just about crime, but the struggle for dignity and belonging. The atmosphere is textured, filled with the vibrant yet harsh realities of urban life. The performances are grounded, particularly the chemistry between Inez and Terry, which draws you into their world. It’s that blend of family and survival in a city that doesn’t care that makes this film a distinctive piece.
