ANTEBELLUM Reviews are in
and they are mostly not good

The exploitative, shallow horror movie wastes Janelle Monáe on a role that limits her voice
ANTEBELLUM: Janelle Monaé plays dual roles in a provocative Twilight Zone-y slavery thriller that trips over its own twists and never recovers. and if the phrase “Twilight Zone-y slavery thriller” sounds like a red flag… well it’s gonna be a bumpy night.https://t.co/Ghf3vpD4oM pic.twitter.com/aqmwUEj03r

2020 absolutely does not need ANTEBELLUM, a two-hour exercise in watching black women get brutalized in artful music-video slow motion https://t.co/YB1bEQD39m

#Antebellum, starring Janelle Monae, has debuted with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 36% and a Metacritic score of 57, with critics praising Monae’s performance but criticizing the film’s “needless brutality” and its “confusing” and “heavy-handed” nature. pic.twitter.com/XEVbZSW4o5
