Missing the notes

 

Mahalia (2021)


Directed by Kenny Leon this film based on real events stars Danielle Brooks, Olivia Washington and Benjamin Charles Watson. We follow the career of soul singer Mahalia Jackson.


This is one of those biopics that just gives you the key moments of someone's life without ever really digging into them as a person or the moments that changed them. No doubt Mahalia Jackson is an interesting person but this film does not do much to paint her as a fully formed character. Overall a bit disappointing really.


2/5
