Movie Reviews

culturevulture.net - 9/10 by Emily S. Mendel... give Bessie a try ... to see Queen Latifah's performance and learn a bit about Bessie Smith's life and times, and turn in off if and when it starts to drag.
The Playlist - 8/10 by Kevin Jagernauth"Bessie" knows all the right words, but hasn't quite learned how to sing them just yet.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Brian TallericoA flawed drama that nonetheless warrants a look simply because of the bright spotlight it gives the underrated talents of star Queen Latifah, who does quite easily the best work of her career here.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 8/10 by John BeifussPresents the powerhouse vocalist as a blues belter in more ways than one -- a pugnacious scrapper with a fierce streak of racial pride, a sexual appetite that crossed gender lines and a hair-trigger temper that sometimes served her well...
Variety - 8/10 by Brian LowryBessie isn't a perfect movie. But for HBO's purposes, it's a big-time noisemaker - one with the kind of show-stopping work that, when they start handing out trophies, isn't likely to leave its star singin' the blues.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Renee SchonfeldGritty biopic has sex, violence, drinking, great music.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - 8/10 by Rob OwenThe story is so intent on covering the title character's life almost in its entirety that character motivations suffer.
New York Times - 7/10 by Neil GenzlingerBessie shows us an assortment of moments from that life but doesn't really make us feel it, despite Queen Latifah's best efforts.
Newsday - 7/10 by Verne GayWell-made biopic absent a whole lot of music and -- as a result -- much emotional resonance.
AV Club - 7/10 by Alex McLevyIn a cast full of strong performances, Queen Latifah stuns. Quite simply, it's the finest performance she's ever given.
