Queen & Slim - Reviews

Big, charismatic performances and exuberant energy...

It is a perfect movie for our times. It grabs you by the scruff during its flawless opening sequences and never lets go...

At 132 minutes, there's a lot of room to breathe, and it's a wonderful experience watching a film where the characters are given so much space.

...it’s a stunning portrait of the black experience in America.

...an intoxicatingly lawless lovers-on-the-run romance played out against the politically charged backdrop of racially divided modern America.

...tackles urgent, difficult subjects with bravery, care and adrenalised genre cool.

As Slim, Kaluuya perfectly personifies Black male vulnerability and frailty and every man's desire to experience and have love. His performance is subtle, nuanced, and powerful, and the chemistry between him and Turner-Smith is electric.

Kommer den skaka om dig emotionellt, få dig att reagera? Förhoppningsvis.

...vackert drama om att styra bilden av sig själv

Hjertet i filmen ligger (...) i forholdet og samspillet mellem Queen og Slim.

...magisk realism...

Ytterligare ett exempel på att svart amerikansk film nu är i sin finaste form sedan 1970-talet.
