How did I like this?
This was more focused on Levee than I expected. I didn't know much about him, so at least I learned something new. I did want to watch this for Ma and really enjoyed her scenes. She was a feisty lady! But I did not see Levee's meltdown coming at all...holy crap.
I loved how this whole movie was one wild day. I'm a sucker for one day movies and books.
Have you seen Ma Rainey's Black Bottom? What did you think?
If not, would you watch it?
