All Day and a Night is made with empathy and skill, but it’s as clear-eyed and remorseless as a news report. Read full review

Steve Pond

As Jahkor resists his father and then begins to make a tentative connection, Sanders and Wright let us feel the weight of generations — and All Day and a Night, which began in a blast of gunfire, ends as a sad but touching lament. Read full review

Leah Greenblatt

A nervy, deeply felt drama that gets a little lost on its winding path to redemption but still finds a way home. Read full review

Ty Burr

May 1, 2020

This is a grim, at times lurid tale with hard observations about growing up poor, Black, and male in America — about the cycles of defeat that can land multiple generations in prison — and many of the details have the sting of the rap songs that permeate the soundtrack. Elsewhere, however, All Day and a Night plays like an urban crime thriller made with more earnestness than style. Read full review

The Guardian Benjamin Lee

All Day and a Night is a weightier alternative to the average Netflix original and while imperfectly realised and scrappily plotted at times, it’s another promising sign that, away from the easy-to-digest content, there’s room on the platform for much much more. Read full review

There’s a fine line between resilience and false hope, and All Day and a Night walks it with purpose even when it’s tripping over itself. Read full review

There is not a single original idea in All Day and A Night. Not one solitary surprise is to be had here. Read full review

All Day and a Night has some major flaws. From the clichés to the generic plot, the film is definitely nothing remarkable. It tries to make an impression on its audience, but falls a bit flat. Nothing is extremely noticeably bad, the cinematography and music are both quite good. The actingAll Day and a Night has some major flaws. From the clichés to the generic plot, the film is definitely nothing remarkable. It tries to make an impression on its audience, but falls a bit flat. Nothing is extremely noticeably bad, the cinematography and music are both quite good. The acting is also a standout, the actors manage to turn quite a standard script into a pretty engaging story. But despite this, it doesn’t change the fact that you’ve probably seen All Day and a Night before in another film, and that one was probably better.… Expand

Un dramón de tres pares de narices, muy buenas actuaciones, y un mensaje muy chulo.
