(See: Blackberry, Tetris, Flamin' Hot.) But the flashiest (and the best) of them was Ben Affleck's Air, the first film from Affleck and Matt Damon's production company, Artists' Equity Studio.
Christian HolubĢ023 is the year for crisp, cool takes on corporate IP. She's been a musician, a dancer, and a reality TV star, but here she proves she is truly an actress to reckon with. Gary Gunn's skilled score keeps everything moving, from one time period to the next. The real highlight of the film, though, is Taylor's passionate performance. The film takes place over the course of Terry's childhood and teen years like Moonlight's Chiron, he is thus played by three different actors: Aaron Kingsley Adetola at 6, Aven Courtney at 13, and Josiah Cross at 17. Although other people come in and out of the protagonists' lives, A Thousand and One is especially focused on the unshakable bond between mother and son, as they try to survive in a gradually gentrifying New York City (depicted through occasional archival speeches from politicians like former Mayor Rudy Giuliani) that somehow always manages to be most expensive for poor people.
History as seen from the street, A Thousand and One evokes film favorites from the past decade like Moonlight and Boyhood in its decades-spanning story of Inez (Teyana Taylor), a single mother who steals her young son Terry from foster care so that they can pursue the American dream of independence and family together.
