What The United States vs. Billie Holiday Is About
A singer's career becomes the target of a federal narcotics unit because of a song she insists on performing. The pursuit lasts years and an agent is placed close to her. The film builds the biography around that pursuit; the narrative shows the addiction while making the state's persistence its real subject. The performance sequences are shot unbroken and are its strongest part. Lee Daniels directed. Andra Day stars and was nominated for an Oscar for the role. A real warning: there is drug use, sexual content, racist violence and an image of a lynching. The narrative does not soften them.
