A solid movie with something to say. The characters are well developed. The acting is good. The movie is a little long, like there was one too many things that sidetracked them. Also some of the choices the characters made were questionable.

The flipside of Bonnie and Clyde - these two are innocent, mostly! Achingly sad, this is a well made film that resonates with the climate we are still living in. One day this type of film will stop being made - sadly, this won't be in the forseeable future. See it - get angry - raise your voice to make a change.

Amazed by all the positive comments for a movie extremely slow, boring and in excess of propaganda and PC. All of that could be avoided with just talking, explaining and of course not having her thinking she is the queen of the world just because of the color of her skin and not making complete stupid decisions and exaggerate on every scene and speech. The guy was a puppet of her without any free will. No, people are not afraid of black on a horse because they had to look up. So racist.

This is clearly a very talented filmmaker. Not only does it look fantastic, but there’s a great rhythm to the editing and a lot of attention given to the music selection. I love the two main characters and their progression throughout the story, I think it’s very well written and acted. The story itself has a great hook and some interesting social commentary, but it’s not entirely without issues. Some of the plotting can feel a little mechanical, which leads to moments of tension that aren’t earned or scenes that feel unrealistic. Also, I think it starts to become a little watered down near the end. Its allegorical meaning should be perfectly clear for any attentive viewer, however the filmmaker really wants to hammer the point home with a bunch of scenes that are way too on the nose. Cutting those scenes out would improve the overall experience. Nevertheless, I think this is still pretty easily recommended. 6.5/10

_Queen & Slim_ is a road movie that takes its sweet time to get where it's going but that's fine because the time is sweet and if the film wasn't in a hurry, neither was I.

Sure there were some scenes that tried too hard to be poetic and some speeches that reached far too much for More

The eponymous couple - Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith have hit it off after their first date and are driving when they are pulled over by a traffic cop. Quite quickly, things spiral out of control with both her and the cop shot - the latter, fatally. Almost immediately, they become Ohio's mos More

Queen & Slim was entertaining overall, and its social messaging that might have turned off viewers of a certain political world view worked for me. It will not make my greatest movie list, but it held my interest. Not because of its theme or message so much, but more for the character depth and deve More

_**A powerful socio-political statement disguised as a road-movie**_

>_We'd never talked about it, but I figured you knew the rules. If a cop stopped, you didn't run, you didn't talk back, you didn't ever, ever get angry. White people could do that – hell, they could shoot up a church and then More
