Rarely does a film offer so much; it’s truly a feast for the senses, with dreamlike cinematography and an incredible soundtrack (you will cry when you hear Lauryn Hill come in).

But Queen & Slim’s weight lies in the rich, uninhibited way in which it honours the African-American experience, from the traumatic to the joyous. This is a film by black people, for black people. But it’s imperative that everyone else see it, too.

Queen & Slim is in cinemas in the UK from 31 January and in the US now.
