About This Movie

Loqueesha, the 2019 film, dives into some pretty complex waters with its premise. A white guy impersonating a black woman to host a talk radio show? You don’t see that every day. The tone really straddles the line between comedy and drama, which can feel a bit uneven at times, but it definitely sparks conversations. The pacing varies - some moments drag, while others zip by with sharp dialogue. The performances, especially from the lead, are a mixed bag; they evoke a range of reactions. It’s distinctive in how it tackles race and identity, albeit clumsily at times. Practical effects are minimal, but the atmosphere captures the quirky yet tense vibe of radio culture well.
