Slim and Queen's first date takes an unexpected turn when a policeman pulls them over for a minor traffic violation. When the situation escalates, Slim takes the officer's gun and shoots him in self-defense. Now labeled cop killers in the media, Slim and Queen feel that they have no choice but to go on the run and evade the law. When a video of the incident goes viral, the unwitting outlaws soon become a symbol of trauma, terror, grief, and pain for people all across the country Written by stmc-25959 (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)
QUEEN & SLIM (2019 written by Lena Waithe, directed by Melina Matsoukas, produced by Pamela Abdy, Todd Cohen, and Lena Waithe. Having waited a good while to see this film, my anticipation level was rather high. Upon viewing the film, I was more than ready to see how this all panned out.
As I watched the film progress the relationship between the characters, it got to a point where I questioned the choices made by the main characters and how those choices would play out in reality. I felt the main characters had good chemistry on screen with a cast of other memorable characters and beautiful cinematography.
In the End: QUEEN & SLIM was a rather interesting film using a touchy topic as background for an atypical love story that, for me, came off well. So for this film, I give it 3.5 of 5 stars.
