Queen & Slim - Recensioner

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

...magisk realism...

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

Big, charismatic performances and exuberant energy...

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

...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.

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

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

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.

This is one of the best and most important movies of the year.
