ReviewsNew Yorker - Chadwick Boseman gives a startling and galvanic performance., Vulture - Tate Taylor's film cares less about narrative clarity and more about portraying a life lived between the extremes of sin and grace, between the abject and the sublime. It's lively, stylized, and genuinely surprising., Globe and Mail - Thrives on a thrilling soundtrack, a doozy of a yarn and Chadwick Boseman's dynamite-powered portrayal of Brown.

Consumer AdviceContains infrequent drug use, strong language and moderate sex
