Queen & Slim
is a road trip movie, too, one that follows a modern-day Underground Railroad in the opposite direction, south from Ohio to, well, where’s the Promised Land today? After briefly taking refuge with Queen’s uncle in New Orleans, where they undergo drastic makeovers, the broke couple has no choice but to seek and trust a series of strangers.
