      I will reserve judgment however this ‘preview’ trailer left me w/ HBO made for television vibes instead a blockbuster film event. 🤔🤷🏾‍♂️

    Jennifer played Effie White singing Aretha’s songs. Mary was more impressive in this trailer than Jennifer looking like a deer in headlights. Wish they incorporated a couple other songs than RESPECT so we could judge it better.

      The way the movie it’s made, probably revolving around her get a number one hit with respect.

      Aretha has so many iconic songs, why didnt they incorporate them into the trailer.
      Yes, respect is her signature song but she has other bops.

      The name of the movie is respect
      The song used thru out the trailer is respect.
      The big sign behind her when she’s singing says RESPECT. 😩😩

      They are making Aretha look like a 1 hit wonder. 😩😩😩😩

    Aretha Franklin had so many bops, why did they only use respect thru out the trailer.

    Stop making Aretha look like a one hit wonder with only 1 popular song.
    This woman had a catalogue of hits

    • Lyka June 29, 2020

      annoying

    • Monica Denise June 29, 2020

      The movie is called Respect and that’s undoubtedly her signature song.

      I’m not impressed with JHud just yet but I’ll reserve judgement for the release.

    Little FYI: This was only a TEASER TRAILER!!! Can’t give it all away just yet. Full trailer coming soon as the release date approaches with more Aretha vibes, more songs, and of course drama. You all haven’t seen anything yet! Stay tuned 😉
