But i very much enjoyed the film. Its called the collini case, its 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, shes 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, youre the right person to do this so thats great. I mean, she can sing, she can act, she has charisma, she has presence and its a great performance.

Its a very sort of tumultuous Life Story and the film wants to play things fairly safe. So theres domestic abuse, there is alcoholism, there is theres a lot of stuff that is
