[tv+] Sidney Poitier doesn't need such a bland platform to claim the importance of his work in Hollywood. The film forgets about Josephine Baker, who opened many doors to the black community before Poitier arrived, with the added difficulty of being a woman; despises Hattie McDaniel, who was not only the first African-American person to win an Oscar, but the first African-American to attend the Oscars as a guest, not a service employee; silences James Baldwin, who criticized the role of "domestic star" played by Sidney Poitier and dismisses Diahann Carroll, of whom he was a lover for nine years, although she is only mentioned for nine seconds in the documentary. Everything to build an idealized and flat image that actually feels against the protagonist. Compared to other biopics like "The last movie stars" that are not afraid of the imperfections of their protagonists, getting a deeper dimension of the life and career of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, "Sidney" is an approach that is too superficial and one-dimensional. And lest we forget that this is an Oprah Winfrey production, the last word before Sidney Poitier is granted by herself.
