But i very much enjoyed the film. It s called the collini case, it s in cinemas now. Ok, now, respect. I really want this to be good. Yes. Because aretha franklin what a figure, what a life story. An extraordinary life story. And so the good news is, she s played byjennifer hudson, who is fantastic in the lead role i mean, i think everybody expected this. Aretha franklin herself effectively appointed jennifer hudson. She had, you know she was very controlling on the project right up until her death in 2018, and she said tojennifer hudson, you re the right person to do this so that s great. I mean, she can sing, she can act, she has charisma, she has presence and it s a great performance. I think the problem is that the film itself isn t quite as exceptional as either its central performance or, indeed, as aretha franklin.

It s a courtroom drama. Now, i love a courtroom drama, i do understand that courtroom dramas are full of things that never happen in real courtrooms, like people producing witnesses out of nowhere that nobody s heard of, people presenting papers ijust happen to have in my bag. I quite like a courtroom drama too, you see, so. But. Yeah, i m a suckerfor it. I keep expecting somebody to slam the table and say, you can t handle the truth! if you accept that the drama itself is fairly contrived and it does, you know, have all those conventions, then i think it s very entertaining.
