I read another review that said pretty much everything I wanted to say so I'll try to be concise. One could say that the movie is more about "look how Andra Day looks and talks and sings like Billie Holiday" than about the artist's life, I mean we all heard her songs a thousand times over the years do we really need so many musical numbers? We have the records silly! It's just a bunch of scenes stuck together with almost no continuity for 2 hours, not that linearity is a must for any picture but if you're telling the story of a person that actually lived you might as well have some, right? Andra Day is amazing and I hope she gets nominated for an Academy Award! That said, go watch Lady Sings The Blues or read Billie's autobigraphical book with the same name.
