Queen & Slim dripping in identity politics
![Date Date](/universal/images/transparent.png)
Queen & Slim, promoted as the “Blackest movie ever made,” falls short on making any real working-class advance against racism. We meet the protagonists, revealed to be Queen/Angela (Jodie Turner-Smith) and Slim/Earnest (Daniel Kaluuya) at the end of the movie, at a Black-owned diner for a Tinder date. That would’ve been the end of their relationship if it wasn’t for the drive home when they got pulled over by a racist white cop, accidently killed him in self-defense, and embarked their journey to freedom.
