Whatever your entertainment needs, we got your back (and hopefully your mind) with Queerty’s weekly “Culture Club” column with some of the highlights of new releases, streaming shows, classics worth revisiting, and what to drink while you watch.The long-awaited, much-anticipated biopic of grand diva Aretha Franklin finally arrives, starring another grand diva, Jennifer Hudson.
Respect traces Aretha’s life growing up as the daughter of an outspoken preacher to the iconic recording artist we all know and love today.
Director Liesl Tommy and writer Tracey Scott Wilson frame her story as one of an artist discovering her own voice, using music to recover from childhood sexual abuse, a violent marriage and struggles with alcohol.
