Feb 26, 2019Wright does a fantastic job here and for his acting alone, It's worth watching. The story, however, doesn't even come close to matching him. It's too predictable and the ending is very anti-climactic.

Planted mostly in a tasteful middle ground between Shawshank sentimentality and the terrors of Oz, Madeleine Sackler's prison film O.G. revolves around a deeply sympathetic performance by Jeffrey Wright as a longtime prisoner about to re-enter the outside world.

The brilliant Jeffrey Wright plays Louis in the HBO movie O.G., and it is one of the finest performances of his career. ... O.G. is a work of fiction and yet is almost unsettling in its authenticity. Director Madeleine Sackler does a magnificent job of plunging us into this world.

In the end, every cliché and nearly every expectation that comes in a typical prison film is stripped away. What’s left is an unshakable performance, and a sense that you’ve seen a piece of cinematic art that isn’t fiction or nonfiction, but somewhere in between.
