Black Bottom

I have been anxiously awaiting the release of MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM, which stars Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman in an adaptation of the August Wilson play. I know very little about the film other than the fact that it was directed by George C. Wolfe and that it’s about a woman (the titular Ma Rainey, played by Davis) recording an album in Chicago in the 1920s. Those auspices are certainly enough to move it to the front of my Netflix queue this weekend—and I hope it’s enough for you, too!
