Ok so the acting was alright, but basically I just spent almost 2 hours of my day watching an annoying couple argue over a thank you speech and all of this in a b&w filter. I mean...

[Netflix] If a white critic tends to oversimplify an Afro-American director's movie message, can a white director understand an Afro-American director's motivations? It is one of the doubts that remain after this exercise in self-compassion. After a resounding and attractive first part, the rest of the film feels as if we are listening to the writer, not the characters, here subjected to the tyranny of a text that remains text, without completely being free to become part of them.

At the end of this movie, I felt exhausted as much as the characters themselves... As it has already been said here between the comments, I think that this was intended by Levinson and therefore I cannot criticize him over this. I do recognize Malcolm & Marie as a great movie but it is not my cup of tea. It's absolutely not about boredom or some other bullshit I've read in other reviews. I personally think that I didn't really enjoy it because I felt no attachment to the characters for some reason. What a pity.

_Malcolm & Marie_ is a film student's wet dream. This is one of the most pretentious, exhausting, narcissistic movies I have ever seen in my life.

I wish I was half the genius Sam Levinson thinks he is. Dude really thought he can get away with writing a movie about his thoughts by casing More

Like, I understand people are angry that Sam Levinson’s ego is so fragile but isn’t every artist’s?

I don’t know where I stand in the identity politics discussion and Levinson projecting his own insecurities about writing for Black characters onto this film. I don’t know if I even need More

Not sold on a lot of what this offers, but the acting from Zendaya and John David Washington is absolutely phenomenal - flawless, in fact.

The aforementioned duo are truly outstanding, I loved their performances from start-to-finish; whether it the more serious bits or the more amusing parts. Gre More

While the screenplay might not be the most nuanced, it doesn't have to be - it's a showcase of talent in front of and behind the camera. It's a beautiful film; each frame could serve as a still to whatever campaign Zendaya is currently a part of while proving her place as one of the best young talen More
