The Outside Story (2020)
Stepping Outside
17 March 2022 - 4 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
Charles is stuck, and he knows it. He wants to stay inside his comfort zone, which is his pleasant Brooklyn apartment, and avoid contact with the world outside as much as possible. He steps outside, however, inadvertently leaving his keys inside, and what happens on his day in the sunlight is what this movie is about. A simple story, told without passion or bombast--but played with infinite commitment and joy by an ensemble led by actor Brian Tyree Henry, a brilliant and charismatic performer we shall (or at least should) see much more of in coming years. Slow to take off, the film soars by its ultimate conclusion. A little gem.
