excellent performances. Great directing. Must see

O filme que trata de questões pertinentes em nossa sociedade, mas não passa mão parar as hipocrisias existentes nas lutas. Adorei todos os aspectos do filme,

Regina King's directorial debut is a unique affair that follows the meeting of four prolific figures of modern history: Malcolm X, Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali), Jim Brown and Sam Cooke. The film follows the aftermath of Clay's win in the fight against World Heavyweight Champion Sonny Liston. Kingsley Ben-Adir plays Malcolm X, a human rights activist, a Muslim minister, and the host for the afterparty that commences in the wake of Cassius Clay's (Eli Goree) victory. At the Hampton Hotel in Miami, they are joined by singer Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.) and footballer/actor Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge), they begin to share their thoughts and opinions about their responsibilities and rights. What happens throughout this one night will change history moving forward. King gives viewers a calm yet tense film that deals with themes and ideas like balancing your private and public life, racism, and the danger that comes along with voicing your personal opinion. Hodge, Goree, Ben-Adir and Odom Jr. all give powerful performances in their respective roles. Over the 114 minutes, they get deep into the psyche of their characters and each gives the performances of their careers. The casting is impressive; not only do these four men physically resemble their character, but Leslie Odom Jr. lends his smooth voice to the role of Sam Cooke and contributes to the film's soundtrack. Having King in the director's chair is unsurprisingly significant. Despite being snubbed at the 93rd Academy Awards, King made history by being the first black female director to have a film selected at the Venice Film Festival. Kemp Powers provides 'One Night In Miami' with a sensational screenplay. The film is based on Power's play that was written and performed in 2013. Tami Reiker brings in Malcolm X's love of photography by filming some shots through the lens of his camera. The closing image of the film is one inspired by a photograph Malcolm X took of Muhammad Ali. Terence Blanchard's score is gorgeous. It mixes well with what happens on screen and even features the oscar-nominated song 'Say It Now', sung by Leslie Odom Jr. If you want to know more about these four iconic men, films like 'Malcolm X', 'Ali' and 'Tick, Tick, Tick' should be on your watchlist. 'One Night In Miami' isn't the only film in this year's awards race that pits ideological positions against each other. Aaron Sorkin's 'The Trial of the Chicago 7' deals with racial injustice and features figures that led the civil rights movement. 'One Night In Miami' is a worthwhile film to watch. It presents viewers with an interpretation of what happened on that fateful night of February 25th 1964. The film is an example of Regina King's incredible ability to direct and produce - King should definitely be on your radar in the coming years.

Quattro ottimi interpreti ed una sceneggiatura di altissima qualità; quasi totalmente costruita in due stanze in cui tutti e quattro posso esprimersi senza però esagerare con i movimenti del corpo. A farla da padroni sono soprattutto Malcolm X e Sam Cooke, agli antipodi negli ideali e nello stile di vita. Impossibile non rendersi conto della qualità impeccabile di ogni dialogo e di ogni punto di vista e non seguire con estremo interesse ogni dibattito ed ogni presa in giro. Forse l'unica cosa a mancare è un po' di empatia verso i personaggi, soprattutto verso Malcolm X ed i suoi ideali estremi, soprattutto quando legati alla religione. Ottimo film soprattutto per sceneggiatura ed interpretazioni.

The best acting ever by an ensemble, including the best acting performance from Kingsley Ben-Adir! With the best movie song ever sung: Speak Now!

It dragged a lot during much of the film, and it was mostly fiction despite being based on real people.

Strong performances, good writing and great direction make this a must watch.

Based on a play that tells the fictional account of a real night, 25 February 1964, One Night in Miami is an incredibly relevant film for 2020, Regina King's feature film debut premiering at the BFI London Film Festival during Black History Month and a year when the Black Lives Matter movement has become much more prominent with the injustices in America being seen and protested all round the world. After Cassius Clay (Eli Goree) wins the World Heavyweight Championship from Sonny Liston in Miami, he meets with Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge), Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.) and Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir) to discuss their roles in the civil rights movement and cultural upheaval of the 60s. One Night in Miami is a fascinating watch, Kemp Powers adapting his own play to the screen with a screenplay that pits iconic figures and their ideoligies against one another in a film mostly set in one location. Introducing each of the characters in their everyday vocations and the struggles they faced in being black men sets the film up for a rather powerful main act where they discuss how they can use their positions of varied success to be heard during the civil rights movement. The contrasting feelings of how they should use their positions of power, whether it be through music, sports or activism, makes for a really intriguing and captivating set up and Regina King directs it with aplomb, giving the actors the chance to shine on such a narratively tight project, Tami Reiker's cinematography impressing too in the confined spaces of the motel room in particular. One Night in Miami also excels in the performance department, the four mightily impressive leads each delivering a performance of power and stature that goes with the iconic figures they are portraying. Leslie Odom Jr. came close to being the best of the bunch as Sam Cooke but he was just beaten to it by Kingsley Ben-Adir's incredible portrayal of Malcolm X, the passion he had for his friends to do their best and not waste their potential being powered home in Ben-Adir's excellent performance. What Regina King has achieved here with One Night in Miami, her debut feature, is nothing short of excellent, a tale of powerful black men questioning their own ideologies as they clash with one another at a time in history where their voices would be better united against the injustices they faced.

A lot of great talent on screen, even greater real-life figures. The concept lets you feel like you are getting a rare privileged look behind the curtain and inside the collective minds of these distinguished men. Although it can lose some of its magic at times, it really does still go all the way home, with some very provoking dialogue.

Um dos indicados ao Oscar 2021, quiseram trazer as histórias de Sam Cooke, Malcom X, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown entre outros, e se encontra mais uma vez no dilema de uma cena só, com algumas outras adicionadas no trajeto do filme, não sei porque mas acho que as histórias de pessoas negras tem pouco custo por parte de Hollywood sendo que no filme 'Os 7 de Chicago' tinha-se pessoas negras até mas com poucas atuações do movimento 'Black Panther' deixaram para se aprofundar no outro cara branco, mas esse é outro filme. O que vi foi Malcom X a pessoa que luta por direitos iguais, extremamente querendo influenciar todo mundo, e com uma raiva interna imensa que Muhammad Ali contestou, uma hora no filme dizendo: 'vocês mais claros são mais raivosos que nós' e até o Sam Cooke cantor de excelente qualidade, ele contestou mas isso foi bom, pois fez que ele saísse do mesmo estilo de músicas românticas, e fizesse aquela linda música 'A Change Is Gonna Come', que pediu mudanças aos negros, eu vi o mesmo problema que aquele da 'A Voz Suprema do Blues' que muitas das cenas foram gravadas quase exclusivamente em um lugar só, e não diversificava teve as conquistas de Muhammad Ali em algum dos momentos, mas seria legal que fosse trabalhado mais no filme, e o retrato do filme era o Malcom X quase violento querendo movimentar o lugar, dizendo que até Bob Dylan tinha músicas sobre injustiça e que Sam Cooke estaria se prendendo para fazer músicas para brancos. Até dá para entender, e que não poderia dizer com 100% de certeza pois não sei como era o comportamento dos caras, o mais calmo parecia ser o Sam Cooke lembrava até um anjo de tão quieto, mas o fato que o filme deveria sim ter saído da caixa e afirmo mais uma vez Hollywood usa o mínimo para distribuir os filmes para pessoas negras, pra mim eles não se importam muito, sem falar que o roteiro segue um lado só, foi uma grande evolução desde a decepção do da Ma Rainey, o erro aqui foi a falta de um roteiro que seguisse vários lados, um filme de 3h30m caberia bem aqui. Mas é o que eu disse parece que a grande mídia simplesmente não se importa, em jogar dinheiro em uma produção que Malcom X, e todos aqui citados que mereciam um filme digno.

A moving and inspirational film portraying the human elements of these great men of history. Entertaining and funny all the while being insightful and strong. Eli Goree hands down is the best actor ever to play Muhammad Ali

Between 2.5 and 3 stars. Don't know how realistic it is, but looks like a excuse for the debate in the different positions about activism of a minory. Neither outstanding, nor surprising, but well exposed.

Interesting and well done, but I did find some of the long conversations a bit tedious.

Hufa this was awful the guy they got to play Ali was a disaster, and then they go in to this long and boring talk about who the heck knows what ... I could of made it better terrorists try to attack Malcom and Ali ( even though he looks like Trevor Berwick) has to use his boxing skills to save him jim brown has to use his football skills and Sam Cook has to use his driving skills ( ha you thought I was going to say singing )

Perfectly cast. Perfectly directed. Perfectly acted. Perfectly written.

A great story of the struggle to be a public figure. But at times it felt like the movie was dragging on.

Wondered what all the awards were about and now I see. Great people making a difference in racial equality in their own unique way. Singing was great, too!

Electrifying performances from the four leads make this stage adapted, the directorial debut from Regina King never let up. It maintains just enough stage feel to remind the audience where it came from without being too distracting. Its message and dialogue, unfortunately, ring true even today. Ms. King knows her way around behind the camera and I look forward to her next endeavor.

This is long and boring. I learned some things. But essentially this is a two hour discussion of racism. It lacked a lot in terms of entertainment.

So good. The actors are all incredible and play off each other well.
