Well done! An authentic bio-pic of the empress of blues - AND her queerness! Love that Queen Latifah was so open and bold in her depiction of the titular character. Mo'Nique slayed as Ma Rainey - AND her queerness too! So glad there was no obscuring the lifestyle of these loud, proud, head strong Black women entertainers.
