Immediately, as a viewer, I was transported to another time, another world of music and race and tension of which I am unfamiliar. But I know good performances. This cast was outstanding; and I am going to just brush over Viola Davis and Chadwick Bozeman because I know they will be celebrated for their work in this project. But Colman Domingo, Glynn Truman and Michael Potts all deserve equal attention for being the seams that keep this performance masterpiece together.
Outstanding moment of history and music and class and culture very well recalled, presented and preserved. Besides the outstanding acting, there is an unsurpassed script; the dialogue is head-spinning! The cinematography and sets are superior by every measure. Can't wait to see it again after sampling some of Ma Rainey's music.
