This stage-trained son of Nigerian refugees first turned heads in 2002, when Stephen Frears' Dirty Pretty Things came out. Ejiofor's intense, understated performance as Okwe, the Nigerian exile who discovers an organ-trading ring operating in London, lifted what might otherwise have been a routine thriller into high drama. This year he'll be tough to avoid. In Woody Allen's Melinda and Melinda, he plays a flirtatious pianist; in Red Dust, he stars alongside Oscar-winner Hilary Swank as a South African...

...production is just about as spare as possible; those twangy guitars are sometimes accompanied by hip-swinging bass or, on the excellent second track “The Luckiest Girl,” some cool Hammond Organ grooves, but the star of the show is always the leading lady’s voice. And a limited, small instrument it is; like Billie Holiday, Golightly’s singing respects its own limitations.
