The Oscar-winning movie stars reunite to tell the origin story of the most famous sneaker in the entire world. Read our review of 'Air' ⬇️
Then in walks Viola Davis, and you can almost feel the air in the scene — and in the theater you’re sitting in — change. No one needs to be convinced that she’s one of our finest working actors, certainly not her costars nor the man behind the camera calling the shots. You can almost feel the admiration radiating from her fellow performers even when they’re in character, the same sort of awe that the shoe-designing grunts and sneaker pimps have for Michael when he enters a room.
Davis is Deloris Jordan, a.k.a. Michael’s mom, a.k.a. the one identified to Vaccaro early on as the real power behind the throne. Their first exchange takes place at the Jordans’ home, with Sonny pitching and Deloris sizing him up. The art of listening onscreen is one of Davis’s superpowers, and she expertly deploys it; you can see her taking in everything this salesman says as he praises her MVP-in-training, preparing counterpoints in her head, watch her thought process shift in real time.
