Queen & Slim

Queen & Slim bowls you over with its powerful, charged story. Not one to be missed.

An excellent, hard-hitting new film about race relations in America today...

A thoroughly moral tale told with great flair.

The whole film has this dreamy, heady atmosphere, but despite all the things going on around it and all the things it's about...it is, at its heart, a love story.

As this hot couple unwittingly become Black Lives Matter icons, the provocative script is increasingly peppered with implausible beats and infuriatingly dim decisions but it's worth riding those out to reach the transcendent moments between.

Effortlessly charismatic and oozing chemistry, this is a duo to die for.

It's a movie that I think tries to do a lot of things... What it's trying to do in terms of social commentary, I don't think it fully reaches its goal.

Jodie Turner-Smith breaks out in a nail-biting road movie that deserves cult classic status.

I think this would have been a much more effective piece of social commentary if it just focused on these two and their struggles. When it does focus on these two, it's this really cracking on-the-run thriller.

With terrific performances Queen & Slim transcends the outlaws-on-the-lam genre. Instead it is a timely humanistic drama that combines resilience with despair.
