Queen & Slim Ratings & Reviews
Ryezoo
February 7, 2025
A spin on modern day Bonnie and Clyde with an all too real scenario. The acting is top notch, especially from Daniel Kaluuya. The tension is felt throughout the movie. I did find odd some of the character’s choices that are made throughout the journey and not sure how I feel about the ending. This is solid film, but it falls a little short from being great.
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
"From whence does fulfillment come?" Sumney wonders, and Queen & Slim is at its best when it paints portraits of black love and black resistance as answers to that question.
Bitch Media
Jourdain Searles
Ultimately, Queen & Slim seems to bolster a belief-women should be quiet and support their men-that's both inherently conservative and especially frustrating given the nature of the lovers-on-the-run genre.
Andscape
Soraya Nadia McDonald
The director's confident patience guides the pacing of Queen & Slim, allowing both the film and the relationship between its titular characters to unfold organically, even as the stakes of the picture are established within its first 15 minutes.

It think it is a thrilling debut [for director Melina Matsoukas]... You fall in love with this couple.

Tim Cogshell
Very entertaining in a number of ways. Thrilling, kind of funny... Love these two actors together.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
It's a Bonnie and Clyde tale worth telling today.

Leonard Maltin
I didn't think I would grow attached to this disparate couple, but both Kaluuya & Turner-Smith are charismatic and the film serves them well. The end may be inevitable to anyone familiar with lovers-on-the-lam stories but it still packs a punch
Detroit News
Adam Graham
It makes bold narrative choices but backs them up with confidence, so there's never any questioning Matsoukas' vision. She's delivered a potent love story for our times.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
Fantasy requires a wide berth, but it's not always clear whose fantasy is being worked here.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
There's no getting around the appeal of these two characters, as Kaluuya and Turner-Smith play them...
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
[The] emotionally explosive Queen & Slim is a nightmare romantic thriller ripped straight out of today's headlines.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
I responded strongly to the film's sense of scope and scale. The 'rhetoric' of Queen & Slim reverberates with anger and love and mourning.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Queen & Slim is one of those increasingly rare movies that should leave audiences discussing it after they exit the theater. Yet if the film derives power from its broader context, there's strength in the journey as well as the destination.
Film Comment Magazine
Candice Frederick
Queen & Slim excels as a poetic romance between two virtual strangers.
Shadow and Act
Brooke Obie
Without the medicine, Queen & Slim is just digging around in the wound.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Queen & Slim artfully weaves together a lovers-on-the-lam crime story with very trenchant Black Lives Matter thematic content. It is a perfect movie for our times.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Game-changing work from screenwriter Lena Waithe, director Melina Matsoukas and actors Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith turn this tale of an outlaw couple on the run in Trump's racially charged America into incendiary protest art
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Queen & Slim is more interested in myth-making than storytelling, and viewers who don't care that much about the latter just might buy into the former.
Houston Chronicle
Cary Darling
Matsoukas, working from a script by Lena Waithe and story by James Frey, keeps the pace so leisurely over the course of 132 minutes that the story's innate tension slowly seeps away like air in an old balloon.
