How to describe the film Queen and Slim? Somehow Get Out meets Bonnie and Clyde doesn't do this black-is-beautiful-love-on-the-run-from-the-law story by tv writer Lena Waithe directed by music video director Melina Matsoukas, justice. A traffic stop gone wrong places the couple (Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner Smith) in the close confines of a series of vehicles that turns their Tinder first date into a crescendo of vulnerability and true love. Commenting on the many wrongful deaths of black citizens while simultaneously showcasing an unusually vibrant and eccentric couple is a hat trick which the creative team pulls off in style and substance. Where this will fall in awards season is less important than that it is a female-driven release from a major studio--a rare exception in content and talent.
