The Photograph opened in theaters across the country. Not long after, Tayarisha Poe’s Miss Juneteenth went out virtually. Maïmouna Doucouré raised a ruckus when her controversial coming-of-age tale, Cuties, dropped on Netflix, the same streaming service that gave us Gina Prince-Bythewood’s ass-kicking actioner The Old Guard. And Garrett Bradley directed one of the best documentaries of the year, Time. (It’s a shame we didn’t get Nia DaCosta’s much-anticipated Candyman reboot, which was slated for 2020 but is now scheduled to open this August.)

The road to Radha Blank’s intimate and hilariously autobiographical debut film, “The Forty-Year-Old Version,” began with her losing her first screenwriting job. Blank puts it even more bluntly. “One of my roles as an artist is to demystify things,” she says. “I got fired off that job. And I just wanted to create something I couldn’t get fired from.” A longtime struggling playwright, Blank developed her life story into a script about a 40-something Harlem-based theater artist who finds an unexpected outlet as an amateur rapper. “It was not my initial intention to make it as a film,” she says. Blank originally “took a note from my millennial brothers and sisters” and conceived it as a DIY web series. ....

Our streaming entertainment options are overwhelming and not always easy to sort through. This week, I caught up with playwright and TV writer Radha Blank s The Forty-Year-Old Version, a Netflix original that is popping up on some 2020 best of lists.

Bakalova’s character has been raised in Kazakhstan and preconditioned to believe every chauvinist female stereotype. The film’s over-the-top satirical comedy brings countless laugh-out-load moments, each ranging from light-hearted to borderline disturbing. Though unlike its predecessor, the film is very focused and timely, particularly on US politics and the November elections. ....
