Strong acting for certain. I will say the film certainly feels like a play (limited sets and props). Chadwick Boseman shows his talent here.
Boseman was an absolute star. This fictional retelling of one of the most underrated Blues pioneers (Ma Rainey) is worth your time.
Great performances and music. RIP Chadwick
A superb portrayal of characters and setting. Very entertaining throughout.
Fantastic period feel with memorable performances—Boseman especially. Tight script & direction makes the film feel like a play.
Chadwick Bozeman with the performance of a lifetime, gripping all the way through. Viola Davis with a masterclass of acting.
Chadwick, we will miss you so much. Thank you
Really amazing acting. Story is good but lacks in places and is a bit intense.
R.I.P. to Bozeman. Amazing last performance. David is commanding as always. It does feel stagnant at times but the acting is why you watch
Astonishing performances. RIP Chadwick Boseman.
