Why watch this film?
"Queen & Slim" is Melina Matsoukas' first feature film, famous for directing Beyoncé's music videos like "Formation" and episodes of the series "Insecure". Matsouka brings a current theme to her movie that works as a punch in the gut for those who have never experienced prejudice. In "Queen & Slim", Daniel Kaluuya, Oscar-nominated for his performance in "Get Out", and Jodie Turner-Smith, from the Netflix series "Nightflyers", play Slim and Queen, whose first date is interrupted by a police stop. It's easy to associate the story with the protests for black lives that marked 2020 after George Floyd's death. The young man was brutally murdered in a police action in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. The production is important for bringing this context and also for being a beautiful, exciting and dry story at the necessary moments.
