The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2021)
Directed by Lee Daniels this film inspired by real events stars Andra Day, Trevante Rhodes and Tyler James Williams. We follow the career of jazz singer Billie Holiday as she is targeted by the FBI.
Unfortunately despite having an excellent subject matter this is a pretty poor film. The script involves far too much telling and not enough showing, there is more than enough material for a really amazing script but sadly we do not get that here. There are also what appears to be some historical inaccuracies that do not help matters.
2/5
