Directed by Lee Daniels (The Butler, Precious) takes a look at the government sting operation targeting Billie Holliday and her use of hard drugs. Andra Day gives a riveting performance as the legendary jazz singer and Daniels does a wonderful job of capturing the seedy nature of the subject matter. I have never been a fan of Ms. Holliday's voice and style of singing but I LOVE the music of that era!
