In “Black Box,” it’s bad enough for Nolan (Mamoudou Athie) that, half a year after losing his wife in an automobile accident that also put him into a temporary coma, he’s still suffering from amnesia. But what’s worse are his dreams, which are increasingly becoming nightmares. And the fact that one morning he wakes up and sees a hole in a wall that he’s told he punched. “I couldn’t even get you to watch boxing, let alone do it,” Nolan’s best friend Gary (Tosin Morohunfola) tells him when speaking of these disturbing circumstances. Gary, who’s a physician, recommends that Nolan visit Lillian, the department head at a medical college, who’s a leader in experimental treatments for neurological dysfunction.
