Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out) and newcomer Jodie Turner-Smith are on the run à la Beyoncé and HOV in the upcoming film Queen & Slim. The two are barely a couple when a situation with the police escalates. Who could’ve known that swiping on Tinder would end with killing a cop in self-defense? They leave town but can’t escape the trauma, both personal and societal. Somehow, Queen and Slim manage to forge a life and maybe even a love. The all-star supporting cast includes Indya Moore, Chloë Sevigny, and Flea. Directed by Melina Matsoukas (Beyoncé’s Lemonade) in her feature-film debut and written by Lena Waithe, Queen & Slim is a Bonnie-and-Clyde tale for this moment.
