Plot summary

It's 1959 in a seedy bar in Philadelphia, and Billie Holiday is giving one of her last performances interlaced with salty, often humorous, reminiscences to project a riveting portrait of the lady and her music 4 months before her death.

Audra. McDonald. A masterclass in acting. Just devastating

Audra. McDonald. A masterclass in acting. Just devastating, funny, chilling, and transformative as Billy Holiday. McDonald is going to be entering a bloodbath on an Emmy season for Lead Actress in a Mini Series/Movie to the point they should give all the presumed nominees a statue of their own. It's shot very intimately with close frames on Audra while she sings but also in a way to make you feel as if you are sitting in her audience. It is a little weird filming style for an HBO Movie but it still works. The costumes are great, the music is phenomenal, the production design is great, and the writing is excellent. This is one of HBO's strongest films and the best since The Normal Heart. A must see

Awestruck

This portrayal of Lady Day was absolutely wonderful I was emersed with sentiment. Reminds me how I felt when I saw "Lady sings the Blues" for the first time. Loved it!
