My review

Just finished watching Malcolm and Marie on Netflix. Directed by Sam Levinson, the film stars Zendaya and John David Washington (and literally no one else). Filmed in black and white, it is about the troubled and volatile relationship between a film director and his girlfriend over the course of one night. Zendaya is excellent here and I hope she gets an Oscar nomination for the role. Washington is great here too. Both take turns giving impassioned speeches and rants while they argue back and forth. The dialogue is electric and powerful, chilling at times but also with some surprisingly funny moments. For me, Malcom and Marie is an actors showcase and a satisfying and worthwhile experience. My rating is an 8/10.
