If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog @ https://www.msbreviews.com At the time of this review, Malcolm & Marie is already dividing critics worldwide, which is far from being surprising, having in mind its expectedly provocative premise. Being a film critic isn't exactly an easy task, especially when it comes to deal with public opinion. In most cases, when one reaches a high level of success, that always comes with a heavy dose of offensive tweets and personal attacks, particularly when the author's opinion contradicts the audience's response. So, I was hoping that Sam Levinson would not contribute to the dozens of misconceptions surrounding film criticism and hundreds of conspiracy theories regarding journalists of the respective area… Unfortunately, the extremely exaggerated, borderline offensive, over-the-top monologues - kind word for rants - delivered by Malcolm (John David Washington) are simply more wood thrown to the already devastating fire.

Great delivery, best acting I've seen in a film in a while - no word of a lie. As noted at the top, I'm admittedly not fully sure about the rest of the film. I'm definitely not saying it's bad, disappointing or anything but I am unsure about it. Honestly though, the two leads take away any negatives I may have from the production's other departments. They elevate it, for sure. I'd fully recommend checking out <em>'Malcolm & Marie'</em> - if only for Zendaya and Washington.

While the screenplay might not be the most nuanced, it doesn't have to be - it's a showcase of talent in front of and behind the camera. It's a beautiful film; each frame could serve as a still to whatever campaign Zendaya is currently a part of while proving her place as one of the best young talents of the 21st century. Find the biggest screen in your house and be in awe of all the beauty 'Malcolm & Marie' has to offer. - Chris dos Santos Read Chris' full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-malcolm-and-marie-bow-down-once-more-to-queen-zendaya
