I don’t think I’ve ever seen a film start so well but finish so poorly. Daniel Kaluuya & Jodie Turner-Smith turn in two of the best performances of the year, the direction is really solid and the camerawork on display here was near flawless. However, the film felt like…

Rachel RhodesNov 27, 2019a very bad script, leads with no chemistry, misogynoir all over the place... unbearable

Have a feeling that Daniel Kaluuya’s Eyes will continue to get snubbed for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars.

- Jacob is "meh" onQueen & Slim
Could’ve at least given them a happy ending
jacob lovedQueen & SlimThis is my Bonnie & Clyde.
Tristan lovedQueen & SlimBlack bonnie and clyde fr i loved this movie. The soundtrack was too fire. Only thing that I found lowkey stupid was the lil kid killing that black cop who was tryna help him fr. But the whole journey was fun to watch as they slowly fell in love. Cool to see all the people help.
- grace lovedQueen & Slim
that was so incredibly beautiful, deeply profound & tragic. after seeing these two find solidarity, safety, & love in the black community across the south just for it to end that way was brutal. but realistic. made me deeply feel & think about race in the usa.
Andrew Weaver likedQueen & Slim7.7/10 I loved how the characters and their relationship evolved throughout the movie. Great music. Felt like the second half got a lil heavy handed with the messaging rather than just developing an interesting story. But overall fun watch.
Kayla lovedQueen & SlimThe ending was only surprising to me because I had higher expectations for the fate of the characters. Anticipation aside, it was realistic. I still really enjoyed the story and can understand the buzz during the film’s initial release.

this movie does a superb job of speaking on issues that should no longer be current. it pulls at all the emotions but beautifully breaks up the tension.
RARaychon AllenMy friends and I all walked out early because we were falling asleep.
KKKing KendrickExcellent movie showing the crooked white cops black people have to deal with. Nothing better than seeing that white cop get his head bust open🤗

Great story! I also loved the message it brought to the screen. Overall good movie!
BBBrian BrooksSit back with your partner and enjoy. One of the best movies of the year.
MJMemphis JohnstonOk, so the movie is beautiful, the cast is great with an even better chemistry but they’re some large plot holes and inconsistencies.

While writers Lena Waithe and James Frey make Queen and Slim’s initial decision to flee convincing, and dramatically spiky – it’s striking that even a lawyer doesn’t fancy her chances on the legal route – their screenplay is rather less good at coming up with excuses for the string of colourful and picturesque pit-stops the two keep making afterwards.

It’s a tale as old as time and a story ripped from the news feed; a dream of connection and an anvil to the heart. See it for the arrivals of a directorial talent and a stunning young actress, and see it to remind yourself of this country’s ancient and eternal sins.

Queen Slim’s ultimate route is a powerful one – a drive meant to be shared, and discussed, long after the road ends.
