Queen and Slim

This is an interesting near-miss for me - there's an interesting vibe between the two leads, set up as two people on a date that is probably not going to go anywhere, until a police encounter sees them stuck together on the run. There's an intriguing sense that the two of them are non-mythic people who are suddenly being caught up in something a lot bigger than themselves, and the performances of Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith in the leads really do centre this well. But there are sequences that drag a bit, and the fact that until near the end they're not really running towards anything so much as just "away" does mean that there isn't quite the plot-engine underlying everything to keep things moving - sequences sometimes play as seperate bits that rise or fall on their own energy rather than part of an overall film.
