Review of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020) by Olavl — 16 Jan 2021
A movie with glaring problems, held together by strong dialogue and even stronger performances. The absolute un-necessity of certain scenes and characters ultimately damages the film to such an extent that I really can't say I enjoyed the duration of the film.
But, with a heart wrenching conclusion, and the best male performance of the year from Chadwick Boseman, it is worth seeing, even if just to enjoy parts of what could have been an amazing whole.
