1/10
Disrespectful
30 November 2021
This movie is so disrespectful to Nina Simone her legacy and to her being a dark skin woman during that time.

Shamefull of Saldana to play the part and the studio to even making this movie.

Saldana a light skin woman that they painted her face dark and put on a prosthetic nose. That's the way they saw her?. Nina was a beautiful woman and they portrayed her like she was ugly.

I read the reviews and I understand a lot of them are white people because you don't understand the issue. And that's why you shouldn't have a white director and producer too make a movie about black peoples lives.

Its not a coincidence the movie focused on the relationship with her manager Clifton Henderson and the mental issues. Its deeper than that, its the pain, suffering, confusion,fear,power of being black woman of that time and going against everything that hates you with your head up high.

Not everybody knows about her life. So they needed to focus on the early days and build up what made her the person she became.
