Our Review
The comedic timings of SZA and Alyssa and real portrayals of friendship create an on-screen magnetic dynamic that keeps the viewer engaged from beginning to end. SZA’s feature-length debut is especially impressive. She has shown that she can seamlessly switch from music to film.
Screenplays, Directions
Syreeta Singltons screenplay has a great blend of humor, heart and drama. The story deals with serious themes like betrayal, financial struggles and friendships, but does so in a way which is not dismissive. Lawrence Lamont’s fast-paced comedy keeps things moving while maintaining character development.
Comedic Elements
The humor of the film comes from extreme versions of realistic scenarios. From the blood-donation sequence to the impromptu hustle at the art gallery, each set piece is both outrageous and grounded with genuine friendship dynamics.
Cultural Significance
The film is a significant milestone as the first R rated Black comedy on the big screen since “Girls Trip”, which was released in 2017. This film represents a continuing push for diversity in storytelling that centers Black woman’s experiences, with depth and humor.
The Technical Aspects
The film’s budget of $14 million is not a blockbuster but the production has maximized every dollar. The cinematography perfectly captures characters’ energy and the soundtrack (which is no surprise given SZA’s participation) compliments the narrative.
Final Thoughts
The film “One of Them Days”, with its outstanding cast, captivating storyline and high critical acclaim is much more than just a funny comedy. It’s a cultural event that celebrates humor, friendship and resilience.
