Queen & Slim

Synopsis
Slim and Queen’s first date takes an unexpected turn when a policeman pulls them over for a minor traffic violation. When the situation escalates, Slim takes the officer’s gun and shoots him in self-defence. Now labelled cop killers in the media, Slim and Queen have no choice but to go on the run.
Editorial
Undulating natural light and ravishing wides of backroad America lend glinting authenticity to this Homeric-scale romance. Dazzling turns from Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith fuel this seductively scored road movie, their characters evolving from strangers into lovers into graffitied effigies.
