ANGELIKA’S NOTE

A complex film with many layers, QUEEN & SLIM, from Emmy Award-winning writer Lena Waithe, explores America’s social and political climate through the lens of a genre-defying love story. A couple's first date takes an unexpected turn when a police officer pulls them over. Daniel Kaluuya (GET OUT, BLACK PANTHER) and Jodie Turner-Smith (JETT, NIGHTFLYERS) star in this "game-changing work" that Rolling Stone calls "incendiary protest art."

SYNOPSIS

When a Black man and Black woman on a first date are pulled over by a police officer at a traffic stop, their life goes awry. Forced to kill him in self-defense, rather than turn themselves in, they must go on the run.
