Classification R; 114 minutes 3 out of 4 stars
One Night in Miami, the first film directed by a Black woman to be selected in the 77-year history of the Venice Film Festival, feels overdue in more ways than one. Directed by actor-turned-director Regina King and written by Kemp Powers (adapting his own play), the film ambitiously translates to the screen a fictional account of Feb. 25, 1964 – the night when Muhammad Ali become the heavyweight champion of the world. In Powers’s telling, that evening saw Ali convene in a hotel room for a heady conversation with some equally well-known friends: Malcolm X, Jim Brown and Sam Cooke.
