Review of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020) by Lonewolfe420 — 14 Dec 2020
I am not sure how the general public will enjoy the film, but I simply marveled at it. The movie is based on a play, and you can clearly see the stage aspect of the film, but the director does a good job of keeping you engaged.
The acting a 10.
The story is a 10.
The music is a 10.
So why did I give it a 9?
Well, the movie is only 90 minutes, 3 acts, to be precise.
I wanted more singing from Ma, I wanted a musical, but got a film with music.
I wanted to learn more about Ma, but instead, I learned most about Levvy. This movie moved me, we are all leftovers, but won't know it until we realize we are left over.
