Netflix just added 2019s Queen & Slim to its movie library and Im experiencing a mixture of emotions.

Now for the record, my rage wasnt because of the films quality.

As Ive already noted, Queen & Slim is a truly mesmerizing awards-worthy movie.

Heres why its such a vital movie…

What is Queen & Slim about?

Its pretty reset the two have no romantic future.

At the end of the night, Slim offers to drop Queen at her home.

Both know that this first encounter will be their one and only.

During the drive, they are pulled over by a police officer for what seems a minor traffic violation.

Its hard not to get angry at several points in Queen & Slim.

And their plight feels harrowing and has only become more impactful due to real-world events.

However, this is a case where viewers were even more impressed.

Viewers have labeled the movie really captivating, and praised it for it being unapologetic, raw and vivid.

One viewer even declares that Queen and Slim is their favorite movie of all time.

And its worth pointing out, RTs viewer score comes from more than 10,000 reviews.

Queen & Slim certainly isnt a crime thriller I would ever classify as a breezy watch.
