Ayo Edebiri’s Closet Picks

The actor shares her love for sexy and stylish heist movies like CHARADE and THIEF; praises the work of Juzo Itami (whom she calls “the G.O.A.T.”) and his wife, Nobuko Miyamoto; and talks about the African American surrealist imagery in TO SLEEP WITH ANGER.

My favorite Irish-Barbadian-Nigerian first gen American actor

[JasonCryer]

It should be illegal to be this lovable

"I love when friends make movies together. "

And she did, with Rachel Sennott. Pure love.

Between the prepared list on her phone and the Radiohead t-shirt I feel like this was the closest the comments section has been to having one of us in the closet

Congrats Ms. Edebiri on surpassing Martin Scorsese as the number one most followed Letterboxd user!

[DanBrady]

You can tell she takes her craft so seriously. Love it

[ogto]

High & Low is soo good, it takes you one hour to notice they haven't even left the living room.

Ayo is a dedicated film nerd...love following her on Letterbox'd

[mr.morale]

ayo edebiri + radiohead + criterion collection = the holy trinity

I could have watched another two hours of her picking out DVDs. Her smile is so infectious.

[HBICTiff]

She seems like she would be a great best friend

[WilmersondaSilva]

I never stop smiling while she's smiling

[brynwest]

She's so relatable/normal it's refreshing. I feel like I am sitting in a class in college and we are all sharing our favorite movies and she's just another friend/classmate.

[Nimbus]

She is the mother I never had. She is the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves. I don’t know a better person.

[period.]

The second she mentioned Tampopo, I damn near cried from happiness

[KazeNiNare]

"High and Low", "Charade" and "Thief" are some of my all time favorite films! More I see her, more I think she's amazing.

[ajwaddanwarr]

THIS IS A SOLID LIST, I love it when actors and directors actually recommend movies I haven't watched before

[IjeomaThePlantMama]

The NYU dramatic writing degree jumped out!! Loved hearing her insight, and i loved her shouting out Nigerian creatives! I'm going to recommend Eyimofe for my dad and I to watch.
