Where's the music???

Probably the most deceptive trailer I've seen in years, if not ever...

The cast is great, but there's almost no music, no band performance (except for a brief moment at the very beginning), only musicians talking among themselves in a closed rehearsal room... I expected to see them on tour, playing for audiences etc... Like the trailer implies, doesn't it?

The few songs featured are great, though. So much so that it leaves you with a bitter taste of too little.

The Actors Deserve Better

Everything in the film is perfect except for its poor direction and lack of story. Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis are spectacular, especially the former. He should get all awards for his final role which was nothing but a masterclass in acting.

Excellent acting, great cast, but the movie as whole was boring.

I love Chadwick Boseman as an actor and got emotional seeing him in this. Especially with how skinny he was. Viola Davis did good job as well in her role. However the movie is incredibly draggy, the humor was dry, and nothing really happens at all. It just diddn't do it for me.

Black Magic...

A lesson in the art of acting and film making, as an exceptional cast of extremely talented actors portray several hours in a recording studio, the tensions as taut as any wire, the crimes of the times and their effects on those involved in full view - crimes perpetuated into today, sadly.

Disappointing

I would have much rather seen a proper biopic of Ma Rainey than this movie version of a play where, with the exception of one chap banging on and on about his shoes, very little actually happens.

The Legacy of Chadwick Boseman

Chadwick Boseman is known for his iconic performances in Get on Up, Black Panther, and his final role in the musical drama Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. IMDb takes a celebratory look at his career in film and television.

In September 2020, Washington told the New York Times that the third film in the series would be The Piano Lesson, and that he hoped to cast his own son John David Washington and Samuel L. Jackson, with Barry Jenkins directing.
