A Thousand and One (2023)
Directed by A.V. Rockwell
Struggling but unapologetically living on her own terms, Inez is moving from shelter to shelter in mid-1990s New York City. With her 6-year-old son Terry in foster care and unable to leave him again, she kidnaps him so they can build their life together. As the years go by, their family grows and Terry becomes a smart yet quiet teenager, but the secret that has defined their lives threatens to destroy the home they have so improbably built.

What critics compared A Thousand and One to
The cooler hues and intimate close-ups found in darker, bleaker sequences are reminiscent of some of the compositions Barry Jenkins and his team achieved in Moonlight.
The use of three actors to play a young Black man at different ages has already earned the movie comparisons to Barry Jenkins' sublime 2016 drama, Moonlight.
