Billie Holiday's voice was (and still is) unique. Her music was so sad and daunting, yet so beautiful.
UNFORTUNATELY this movie about her life is lacking brilliance. It is not a bad movie, not at all, but it never delivers any real intense drama. This movie just meanders a bit without ever really shining bright.
I would therefore not recommend this movie. Better put on an old record of Billie Holiday because her voice still is unsurpassed and magnificently chilling and SO gorgeous!
The story: Billie Holiday is a black female blues singer who is targeted by the police for daring to expose racism in her popular songs.
