Na de eerste trailer staan de eerste reacties op het romantisch drama Malcolm & Marie online. De film van Sam Levinson met zijn Euphoria-actrice Zendaya en Tenet-acteur John David Washington is vanaf 5 februari te zien op Netflix.

Malcolm & Marie wordt lovend onthaald door de pers en sommigen tippen Zendaya en Washington voor de Oscars.

Zendaya runs away with Sam Levinson’s black-and-white Cassavetes-inspired two hander Malcolm & Marie. She could steal the Best Actress Oscar from another @netflix contender, Viola Davis, for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. It’s a two way race now. Wow.

John David Washington and Zendaya are fire in MALCOLM & MARIE. The two bring devotion and energy to their roles, both of which can find room in the #Oscars race.

Beautiful camera work.

Dialogue leaves much to be desired but many will dig it.#MalcolmAndMarie pic.twitter.com/EvcfGUaFtY

Wowzers. @malcolmmariefilm. John David Washington shines, but Zendaya's performance is a complete knockout. Welcome the film to the Oscar race. The cinematography, its music and direction is superb. But JDW and Zendaya SIZZLEEEEEEEEEE in an Oscar-worthy act.

Zendaya & John David Washington deliver powerhouse performances in #MalcolmAndMarie, a monologue-heavy romantic drama that’s ultimately about being a better partner & wow do they put it all out on the table. It’s angry, soulful & sweet & the music cues are the absolute best pic.twitter.com/e9tqBJARZJ

#MalcolmAndMarie is the award-worthy game changer we’ve been waiting for. Sam Levinson’s brilliantly topical screenplay and atmospheric direction signal the arrival of a new master. JDW is superb, but Zendaya delivers THE performance of the year that deserves to sweep all awards! pic.twitter.com/OYs2w2a3Ii

Sam Levinson’s MALCOLM & MARIE tackles the film industry, critics & the art of filmmaking with curiosity & contempt. A brutally honest love/hate relationship that overwhelms & enthralls. Zendaya & John David Washington both deliver staggering dramatic performances that astound! pic.twitter.com/TwRe6H8w1i
