Looks promising.
But because it's a movie about 4 strong, iconic, historically relevant Black men, l can guarantee you that somehow the LGBTQ folks will manage to feature prominently in this story.

Just wait...

One Night in Miami... - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 97% based on 108 reviews, with an average rating of 8.40/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "A hauntingly powerful reflection on larger-than-life figures, One Night in Miami finds Regina King in command of her craft in her feature directorial debut."[22] On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 81 out of 100, based on 19 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[23]

Kate Erbland of IndieWire gave the film an "A–" and said that "Yes, One Night in Miami often looks like the play it's based on, but King and her stars make the most of any stage-y limitations, and the filmmaker frequently turns her eye to well-assembled overhead shots and a graceful use of mirrors to keep her many characters in the frame all at once."[24] Owen Gleiberman of Variety praised the characters and the film's parallels to modern day, writing: "One Night in Miami is a casually entrancing debate about power on the part of those who have won it but are still figuring out what to do with it."[25]

At TIFF, the film was named first runner up for the People's Choice Award.[26]

[hocjo2626]

Dont' forget this joint drops today.

Birthday of Regina King today too at same time.

 

[wmjj47]

Just finished watching the movie with wifey and all I can say is
!!! Powerful movie. Definitely watching again.

 

[hocjo2626]

I didn't watch it yet. I just got finished watching Outside The Wire. I'll check out One Night In Miami later on tonight with my wife. I can't wait.

 

[GAMETHEORY]

Haven't seen this but from the trailer, I think Malcolm from Godfather of Harlem was much cooler.

I dont know..

 

[TimRock]

this shit is powerful. Not even done yet

 

[HeathCliff]

I'll check it out this weekend

 

[Duece]

Good movie.

But Nigel Thatch does Malcolm so damn well, he could have easily slid into this movie and done a damn good job and better than Kingsley Ben-Adir does here but Ben-Adir doesn't flop, it's just that Thatch's Malcolm is so well done..

 

[Don Coreleone]

It's long overdue for a stand alone Sam Cooke movie. It should continue with a Bobby Womack Bio pic. I personally want to see Sam's brothers pistol whip Bobby on the big screen.
