The natural luminosity of Nicole Beharie breathes radiant warmth into almost every scene of MissJuneteenth and yet it's the lived-in authenticity of her performance that anchors this heartfelt story. Read the full review here:
Miss Juneteenth
Through the holiday for which the pageant is named — commemorating the 1865 abolition of slavery in the holdout Confederate Lone Star state, two years after Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation — the movie also acknowledges generations of African American women who have strived for dignity and personhood in environments that often hold them back. Precarious access to the American Dream is a theme that surfaces repeatedly, not always with a seamless hand in Peoples' script.
The classic mother-daughter dynamic is nicely established, with Turquoise endorsing the values instilled in the pageant contestants — of dedication, elegance, etiquette, self-worth and academic achievement — while rebellious Kai is all about finding her own way, not to mention being free to date a boy of whom her mother disapproves.
