Review of The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2021) by Ganonymous — 06 Oct 2021

I feel Andra Day did an amazing job as Billie Holiday she really embodied her. But I just wish she had I better script to make it a better movie. We know Billie Holiday had her hardships but she was also a amazing singer and she was loved by many I feel they could did a better job showcasing this in the movie as well instead of just showing her hardships it could have been balanced showing both sides of her.

I know Lee Daniels said he wanted to make raw and honest but at times to me it felt like he was exploiting the singer Audra in a way in her first major movie role. I feel some of the graphic scenes weren't need to tell the story.

If the script was better this could have been a great film because Audra can sing and act.
