I feel the same way, I was watching that Kevin Hart thing and got to the episode Chadwick was in and had to turn it off

Just finished. Man the dialogue and performances were on point. Kinda put you in mind of da 5 bloods. Chadwick stole the movie,but viola did her thing too. Good movie

 

[Chi-Town B]

I'm wide awake, I'm about to start this up.

Great film. Had a similar feel to Fences as in it felt like a play turned into a movie. Whole cast did their thing but Boseman for sure stole the show.

Some great dialogue and even better monologues from the characters.

Viola Davis did great and Ma Rainey aint take no shit lol.
Glynn Turman is a legend.
I didnt even recognize Brother Mouzone(Michael Potts) at first lol
Shout out to Colman Domingo too. dude is underrated but he does his thing in every production he's part of.

RIP Chadwick Boseman...Dude was a hell of an actor

Chadwick a shoe in for the Oscar. You can tell he laid everything it the movie and some of his dialogue was a bit too eerie for me considering what happened. Would love to see this in theaters. Props for Denzel to get every August Wilson play on film.
