❝They don't care nothin' about me. All they want is my voice. Well, I done learned that. And they gonna treat me the way I wanna be treated, no matter how much it hurt them.❞

Wow. Without a doubt, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom has Chadwick Boseman's best performance; absolutely brilliant, God rest his soul. And of course the queen Viola Davis killed it as the iconic, bi, 'Mother of the Blues' Ma Rainey. I'm always in awe of her talent, and she deserves an Oscar for a leading role immediately. I really liked the supporting cast too: Colman Domingo is quickly becoming one of my favourite actors, and I felt that his performance as Cutler brought the entire cast together, similar to how Cutler was central to the band. His banter with Toledo and Slow Drag was so natural and likeable, as was his palpable dislike for Levee. There was so much tension throughout the film undercut by moments of laughter or anger (mostly the latter), and it was accompanied by gorgeous music.

Maybe I'm just biased; if there's blues, my mood instantly improves by fifty percent, but I genuinely really liked this film.

everyone’s talks about chadwick boseman (who was exceptional) but no one’s talking about how phenomenal viola davis and colman domingo were. give me those two in anything and i’ll be sat.

I mean, fuck, what can I say about such an insane performance by Chadwick Boseman. Every line struck something. Heartbreaking and so real it hurts to see but still incredible to watch. Every performance was really good but Viola Davis and Chadwick felt so electrifying.

Man this cast is absolutely fantastic honestly. From Viola Davis to Chadwick Boseman, Colman Domingo and all the others who are all giving absolutely outstanding performances. A really strong film, well executed and brimming with enticing back and forth conversations. I really enjoyed this.
