Movie Adventures: Accidental Colman Domingo Double Feature!

Which movie has a better Colman Domingo performance? Which movie did I like better? Hint: They might not be the same movie!

I knew about the first one (since I watched the movie specifically because he’s nominated for best actor), but didn’t realize the second until he showed up onscreen.

He’s great, and the movie has some outstanding performances, but it’s so generic that it draws away from the power of the events shown. Still good, but I wish it was a little more adventurous.

Exactly what the trailer promised. Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan in a raunchy lesbian-centric pulp mystery road trip comedy. It doesn’t make sense, and lots of sections don’t work, but the leads are great. I laughed a bunch. Colman Domingo is really only in this for a few scenes, but I’m still counting it as a CDDF.
