Queen & Slim Movie Review
'Get Out' star Daniel Kaluuya and big-screen newcomer Jodie Turner-Smith play Ohioans whose lives are overturned after a fatal experience with a terrible cop. As first dates go, the one that opens Queen and Slim is a genuine nonstarter — and an interesting bouncing off point for a story. In the green-tinged light of a Cleveland coffee shop, the two Tinder-connected outsiders can't interface. She's an uneasy attorney and a nonbeliever; he's a retail representative an adherent, blazing an accept the way things are smile. Prior to diving into his plate of eggs, he asks with appreciation to the God he trusts (as his tag announces), while she brings up that the server botched his request. Their date is going no place quick, yet before they can consider it a night, a traffic stop on a forsaken road turns grievous and they're joined together, pretty much, in a last chance departure from the specialists.
