Movie review: ‘A Thousand and One’ a fascinating portrait of maternal instinct caught in unforgiving world

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:08:54 GMT

Mothers are often the keepers of secrets, borne from a primal instinct for survival. But secrets fester, grow bigger and inevitably burst with the resonance of truth, as they do in “A Thousand and One,” the debut feature of writer/director A.V. Rockwell. The film, which won the U.S. dramatic grand jury prize at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, casts the harrowing story of a mother and her son against the backdrop of a gentrifying Harlem, New York.“A Thousand and One” proves to be a showcase for multi-hyphenate star and Harlem native Teyana Taylor, who brings to her astonishing performance the coiled physicality of a panther ready to pounce. Her character, Inez, is on the offense as her only form of defense, a stance and ethos that never wavers throughout the 20 years we follow her.Sweeping aerial shots set to soulful strings introduce us to the iconography of New York City: the Empire State Building, Central Park, and of course, Rikers Island, holding New York City’s largest jail.
