The Piano Lesson (2024)

★★★1/2 Boasting a remarkably talented ensemble, "The Piano Lesson" is a largely impressive debut from Malcolm Washington, although I found the narrative to be less impactful than previous Wilson adaptations

★★★ This heavily flawed narco-opera is a tonal and narrative mess, thankfully it is slightly redeemed by Audiard's bombastic direction and Saldaña's impressive central performance
