Director: Sam Levinson Release Date: January 29, 2021 on Netflix Malcolm and Marie was really boring. The plot of the movie wasn't really my forte because it was over an hour of fighting on screen. It feels like it should be a play since it's really static. It takes place in Malcolm and Marie's humble abode after Malcolm's first movie premiere. It was difficult to keep up with the plot since it is not a traditional narrative film (there is no climax). Although I did not enjoy the movie, I believe Zendaya and John David Washington did an excellent job acting. I've never seen Zendaya do this type of intense and emotional acting. Another aspect I enjoyed in the film was that it was in black and white. It exhibits this "old" vibe, and it really shows how both Malcolm and Marie see things in "black and white." I'm not really sure if Sam Levinson wanted to make that distinction; however, both Malcolm and Marie cannot agree on whether or not he should've thanked her during his movie premiere speech. I know many people who LOVED this movie, but personally, I would not recommend it.
