"a thousand and one" a very strong story between a mother and son, but very slow

i kind of liked the movie, but also not like it in a way. The performances were amazing, teyana tylor was good. The way they showed the neighborhood, the geography of the place was very nice and natural. The cinematography was amazing, especially the colour grading, it had a retro effect with some grains kind of effect which was very amazing. The movie effectively show's the difficulties a single mom has to goes through. The movie was a nice portrayal of a black people in America.

The main issue with the movie is the pace. Even though the movie is not even 2 hrs long, i felt the movie was slow and dragging in many places. If they would have made the movie in a better pace, i think i would have liked it a bit more.
