This week brought with the release of ‘Malcolm & Marie’ on Netflix.
Anchored by John David Washington and Zendaya, the ambitious film was conceived and executed during lockdown.
Directed by Sam Levinson, the drama centers on the peaks and troughs of couple – Malcolm Elliott and Marie Jones.
Head below, where That Grape Juice unpacks why the flick is an essential watch.
‘Malcolm & Marie’ masterfully captures the complexities of the modern relationship.
Powered by a script that is as piercing as it is universal, the film skilfully unravels layer after layer of a love that is equal parts pure and problematic.
Washington and Zendaya deliver stunning performances as the titular protagonists and showcase chemistry that is magnetic.
A must-see!
That Replay gurl….. she’s the next Janelle Monáe and the movie will flop like antebellum💅🏿💅🏿
I didn’t care for it. The acting and cinematography was on point (I think John out-acted her though, it’s like Zendays plays the same exact character no matter what role it is), but the writing was lacking. This movie could’ve benefited from being half as long as it was. Like what was the point of including a scene of her going to pee behind a tree.
Zendaya is a one trick pony. Zzzz
