Jussie Smollett’s “The Lost Holliday” challenges queer acceptance in the Black family
From his groundbreaking role in Lee Daniels’ Empire to directing the film adaptation of our beloved B-Boy Blues by James Earl Hardy to his latest film, The Lost Holliday, in which he serves as executive producer, director, composer, and star, Smollett is all in on representation. The Lost Holliday is a rom-com meets dramedy about two Black gay men, a baby, and a fierce (and evolved) mother-in-law played by the legendary Vivica A. Fox.
