15 Best Netflix Original Movies Of 2020 (So Far)
12. All Day And A Night
A thoughtful slow burn drama, All Day and a Night follows its troubled protagonist from an under-privileged youth into an adulthood defined by struggle and strife, eventually depositing him despite his best attempts into prison for his troubles.
However far from being the brutal and bleak story implied by the summary above, the film surges with life and urgency thanks to an intense, simmering central performance from Moonlight's Ashton Sanders.
Yes, the constant flashbacks are trying to hard to be slick, but this dark and thoughtful drama is nonetheless filled with wit, poignancy, and moments of real humanity, more subtle than Menace II Society and less melodramatic than the earlier Boyz n the Hood.
