THE UNITED STATES VS. BILLIE HOLIDAY
Hulu, 3:00 a.m. ET
MOVIE PREMIERE: The script for this new movie biography is predictably by the book, and step by step, starting with an interview that launches a movie-length flashback. The production values are less than lavish, also – but forgive all that to watch Andra Day as jazz legend Billie Holiday, who does an excellent job approximating both her singing and speaking voice. Add this portrayal to Diana Ross’ raw performance in Lady Sings the Blues and Audra McDonald’s even rawer performance in Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.
