Einkunnir og umsagnir

James Brown. A social justice move. Big hair, sad times. The only good thing was when he told off his no-good deserting mama. Lots of predictable lazy virtue-signalling tropes including 'white people can't dance' etc. Avoid if you're looking for actual entertainment.

Fabulous movie. After watching it I can only say I FEEL GOOD!
