What A Thousand and One Is About
Out of prison, Inez takes her six year old son Terry out of a hospital and walks away with him before the foster system can swallow him. Legally this is an abduction, and the film covers the following decade: false identities, constant moving, trying to hold a job, and a boy growing up into an understanding of what his mother did. A.V. Rockwell is also charting Harlem's change from the nineties into the 2000s, with rent, policing policy and redevelopment pressing on the family throughout. Teyana Taylor plays Inez without softening her. A piece of information at the end forces a rereading. It won the grand jury prize at Sundance. Who it is for: viewers who like American independent cinema and stories about mothers and sons. Who it is not for: anyone needing a sympathetic protagonist, since Inez's decision stays contestable.
