    Stay with it, it becomes very believable, the actors superb... Genuine, heartfelt, the exchanges, verbal, eyes, heart, totally realistic. You gravitate toward a hopeful ending. Powerful. A must see for all. Very well written, and enjoyed the background music. I'd highly recommend. This is a sleeper, worth $$ seeing. This movie should get more advertising, show previews a lot more. Hats off to the cast. Brings out compassion, insight in a very non offensive way.

    I wasn't sure what to expect from this flick , but I was pleasantly surprised . It had a very relevant plot line with lots of interesting characters . Kind of had a Thelma and Louise vibe to it . Well done in my opinion .

    Was disappointing. Some of the characters' actions were ridiculous. Letting a gas station clerk hold his gun in the middle of a robbery. Or having sex in broad daylight while on the run from the cops. Those were 2 issues I had, the main problem that I had was that it was boring.

    I think to call the movie Queen & Slim a modern day Bonnie & Clyde is a grave mistake. Bonnie & Clyde were very "intentional" with robbing banks/people. What happens in Q & S was in self-defense/accident. Job well done by both the director and writer of the movie in portraying what is happening today for African Americans in our society when encountered by white law enforcement. I am saddened by some of the reviews or comments that this is a ghetto movie. The movie is definitely igniting conversation and dialogue which is good. However it is long overdue for a favorable call to action to rogue white police officers continued abuse of their position and their treatment of African Americans. While I was hopeful for a different ending for Queen and Slim, I knew deep down it could only end the way that it ended. I am glad they were able to begin to love and appreciate each other during their journey.
