Review of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020) by Karen Gordon for Original-Cin — 23 Dec 2020
Viola Davis is an actor apparently incapable of a false note. She’s a force of nature, playing a force of nature. She is perfection. And even though Ma is the center of the story, Boseman’s Levee goes through the most changes through the film, and covers the most emotional territory.
It is a masterful and powerful performance - a beautiful take on a difficult and tragic character.
