One Night in Miami...

i have this ranked on by top 25 of 2020 list and you could argue its inclusion there, if only because it hit most screens in january on prime video. however, it did have a limited theatrical start on christmas day so i decided to count it for 2020. it's certainly tough to argue that regina king's film adaptation of the kemp powers stage play doesn't belong on a best of 2020 list for any other reason. powers adapted his own work for the screen, documenting a fictional meeting of malcolm x, cassius clay, jim brown, and sam cooke in a hotel room after clay beat sonny liston in 1964 and before he... read more
