Movie Review: Miss Juneteenth -
, and it’s delivered perfectly by Nicole Beharie, an incredible actress who deserves all the things. Nicole, as Turquoise Jones, looks up at a man and tells him, sincerely, “I just want something for myself.” It’s a simple, powerful line, and because Beharie is a force, you believe her and you lean in, for a moment.But there’s one problem with this line. It comes about an hour too late in the story. Our hero has spent the entire film wanting one thing, and one thing only.
The protagonist’s desperation and drive is even more baffling given Kai couldn’t be less interested in becoming a pageant queen. So we have a protagonist who has no interest in changing her own life, but has one drive for another character who doesn’t want the thing, and doesn’t need the thing. In other words, this isn’t ascenario, where a parent is desperate for their child to get clean. Without high stakes, the desperation doesn’t make sense.
