Miss Juneteenth (2020)
Written & directed by Channing Godfrey Peoples this films tars Nichole Beharie, Alexis Chikaeze and Kendrick Simpson. A single mother tries to get her teenage daughter to enter the beauty pageant she won fifteen years ago.
I really enjoyed the way this film takes the mother's point of view rather than make this a teenage coming of age film. The script covers a lot of stuff but captures living in poverty really well, especially when race is an added issue on top of that. Well made and well acted.
4/5
