Modern Day Blackface

Before you accuse me of being a social justice warrior, just try watching the first 10mins of this movie. Casting is not the only crime committed by movie (although it is hard to look past) but pacing, storytelling and overall cinematic quality fall to represent Mrs. Nina Simone.
This movie does not portray the elegance in her artistry or why she mattered. This movie will forever be remembered for MODERN DAY BLACKFACE.
I was half expecting an apology to Nina Simone and her family before the end credits.
How is this movie sitting at 5 out of 10 stars?
Shame on you Hollywood
