Awful. Ugly, violent, an unpleasant experience. Viola Davis was terrific, of course. Maybe Chadwick Boseman was good. Apparently it was the script that was so lacking. One afternoon at a recording session, a bunch of men talking, trying to one-up each other and Ma as an afterthought. I wanted to know more about her and her music. This movie certainty did not provide that.
I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
