Everything about this film was well-done, I just didn't think certain areas were explored enough. It also didn't hurt that she had an awards-worthy screenplay to work with, written by Kemp Powers. I think her direction here was fantastic and I think she is the type of person who can really bring out the best performances which whomever she is working with. Working as a director throughout the years in television, Regina King has finally landed her talents in creating her first wide-release feature film. The impact the messages of the movie had overall were terrific, but I felt certain details could've been explored a little further and the run time could've been either tightened or more eventful, even given the one-location setting (for the most part). However, I also felt that the film took a little too long to get to the final point it was trying to make. Each of their varying views on different subjects all leads to a final conversation in this hotel room that I felt moved by. Taking place in the 1960s, the cultural issues happening around these characters is what the overall film is based around. Luckily, these performances only elevated the film as a whole. If for nothing else, this film serves as a showcase of talent. I was in awe every time any of them would speak a word to each other. They are all incredibly gifted actors and their talents are all on full display here, playing off each other as if they are veterans of the game. It's very hard to make an argument on who gives the best performance here between Eli Goree, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Aldis Hodge, and Leslie Odom Jr.

The dialogue each one of these actors has toward one another was very moving and is easily the glue that kept my eyes from leaving the screen. What worked so well about this film was the fact that they all had the same ideals about civil rights and the only reason any friction between them was caused, was due to how devoted they were to the laws around them.

On the night that Muhammad Ali became the world champion, a series of events and conversations lead the four of these icons to the same hotel room. Watching it from that lens nearly makes it a masterpiece, but as a whole, I don't quite think it lived up to the material at hand.ДЄlthough I'm aware that the film One Night in MiamiвЂ¦ is technically a fictional take on this particular night, I guarantee there were some insightful conversations before penning the screenplay. Before I dive into this review, I'd just like to say that my takeaway from this film was that the point of it was to deliver some hard-hitting messages and showcase very fine performances for every figure being portrayed. Knowing full well who Malcolm X, Jim Brown, Sam Cooke, and Muhammad Ali are, learning that they were all in a room together one night with some eye-opening, sentimental truths being spewed, I couldn't help but feel the need to watch. One Night Stand is currently showing in the UAE.This was a very interesting watch for me. Hopefully, a companion film about a female stalker who wonвЂ™t take no for an answer.

This is an erotic emotional excursion that makes me curious to see what DвЂ™Souza will attempt next.

One Night Stand is easy on the eyes and not heavy on the heart despite the dramatic potential of the plot. For this, part of the credit must go to cinematographer Rakesh Singh. Throughout, the film conveys the feelings of hope and desire in a restrained way. The two female protagonists are painted neither black or white. The director avoids the cliches of dramas about extra-marital affairs. She makes her presence felt although the focus is clearly on Leone. While Virwani does his greyish role of a man who canвЂ™t take no for an answer, sure-handedly, the film clearly belongs to the two women.Д«anerjee as a philandering husbandвЂ™s devoted and innocent wife is a pleasant surprise. There are some unexpected twists in the second half. The director keeps a confident hold over her three characters even as two of them lose grip over their emotions. The plot unfolds partly as a thriller and more prominently as a drama of disintegrating domesticity. Newcomer Nyra Banerjee plays UrvilвЂ™s wife, Simran. One of them is Urvil (Tanuj Virwani), who has a liason with Celina (Sunny Leone). A Sunny Leone film with a heart and some soul.Дebutant director Jasmine Moses DвЂ™Souza gives us three main characters. It could even make you a part of a film that has all the makings of a new kind of erotic thriller. There is no saying where a one-night stand can lead you.
