Netflix’s “Self Made”: What's Fact and What's Fiction?
Netflix takes some liberties in its portrayal of Madame CJ Walker, a trailblazing Black entrepreneur.

Three friends give up debauchery and gambling and get hired in the house of a millionaire man. One of these three, who is in love with the millionaire's daughter, is deeply saddened by the fact that he has to keep silent because of an unintentional murder he committed years ago. The objection of the millionaire man to marrying off his daughter leads to his murder, and the three friends are accused of this murder with the evidence obtained.

This is not a slavery story, it is a freedom story. The viewers only see Harriet as a slave for the first few minutes of the film. To me, it felt like watching the origin story of a superhero…which is both good and bad.
I highly recommend Kill Bill: Volume 2. In classic Tarantino fashion, specific sections of the film are a tad too long, but overall, it’s a wonderful piece of escapist fiction.
Sam Levinson's latest film can't keep up with the excellence of its performances.
On top of the phenomenal acting, and great dialogue between the two characters, the cinematography was ravishing! The sound was outstanding! The production design was simple, yet intrinsic. The minimalistic approach in the Malibu beach house represented how little they really have going on in their relationship. The storyline may have been much simpler than "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf," but all the more insightful, and much more animalistic at its core.
