This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Queen and Slim was beautifully shot, well-edited, and for the most part, well-acted; however, much of the film left me incredibly confused. There were several questionable moments in Queen and Slim that lead me to believe the script was poorly written. Two scenes that come to mind as particularly puzzling are the horse-riding scene and the gas station clerk scene. In these two scenes, it becomes pretty apparent how ridiculous and unrealistic much of the writing of this film is. I think most of the lead actors did the best they could with such lousy writing, but this movie is still barely tolerable. Towards the end of the film, I was seriously considering walking out of the theater due to how absurd and sappy the final scenes were. I appreciate the political statement the film was attempting to make, but I think the writers and director did not go far enough to create a lasting message. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this film. As much as I enjoy good cinematography, political and societal commentary, and actor Daniel Kaluuya, I was not at all impressed by this film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Greatt casting and acting marred by an unrealistic story. People from my culture are extremely unlikely to stop to ride horseback while on the lamb!. Even the Texans I know thought that was weak.And don't talk to me about symbolism.. it's not Shakespeare. We don't hang out of cars cruising down the highway, either. Also found it unlikely the kid would shoot a Black cop given the circumstances and lack of provocation. Still, I loved the acting!. They could have done so much more with this movie.… Expand

Queen and Slim is a horrible movie. It glorifies violence and crime as virtuous. It also glorifies gratuitous sex and prostitution. It is a wasted two hours of life to see it.

The movie tries so hard that it's a bit too on the nose at times. And the sequence of events is just so out there and hard to believe, It takes you out of the movie and prevents it from being enjoyable.

The way the characters act alone is just so illogical that it made me say aloud "Wtf are they thinking!?".… Expand
