'Zola' is a Modern Black Fairytale
It’s fun, it’s energetic, but it’s also understated and vicarial. Zola is a modern black fairytale and future of black movies.

Her new lover, Marco, offers her the use of an unused adjoining barn to store the second-hand cars he trades in. But the "used" cars are actually stolen, and the charming Marco is a bad boy.
