Nina - just a movie - why do peppel hat dis movie they try make a good movie shame on you america sucks🤬🤬🤬😤

Its too Bad.....dont watch it

nina is a film that has a great script but the actors and the cast is not so good.

As far as autobiographies girl Nina is definitely at the bottom of the barrel. After watching this film I learned very little about Nina and a bunch of the film is her just singing music. The movie is miss cast with what seems forced performances. The script was also pretty bad. The movie had good intentions but it’s also pretty boring.

awful. poorly casted, poorly written.

Terrible casting; it tanked the entire movie. Nina's story needs to be told, but not like this.

The best bit of this film is Zoe Saldana's performance as Nina Simone, I thought she was spot on playing the singer at her most self destructive. What lets the film down a little is the way it is edited. It flits through various times in her life often without purpose. The focus is on Nina's later years and her relationship with her assistant who tried his best to look after the singer and save her career. It's a film with a strong decent lead and some very good music, it's just a shame that the rest of the film can't lift this up to the level of better musical biopics such as Walk the Line, Ray, Love & Mercy, Backbeat etc

i didnt even know the movie was still made, this is hilarious.

Deserved a far better response. Whatever wingspan this thing lacks behind the camera, is well made-up-for by Saldana's own.

Nina is a by-the-numbers musical biopic riddled with every conceivable cliché about "the tortured artist." Nina never decides what it wants to say or where it wants to take us. Saldana (Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy) is an accomplished and bankable actress, but she doesn't look much like Simone. That has led to several complaints, including from the Simone estate. A certain integrity and seriousness of intent gleams through, but Nina is just too big a subject, and talent, to be compressed into such a small package. Ignore all the politically-correct, blackface haters. Singing aside, Zoe Saldana delivers a decent enough Nina Simone impersonation here to make you wonder what all the brouhaha was ever about. Aside from some clunky expository dialogue and a few concluding title cards, the film barely goes into how Nina ended up so broken. It does try to give her a half-hearted redemption arc, but it fails to take off without convincing the audience why Nina needs or deserves redeeming. Zoe Saldana stirred up controversy by taking the title role, because she darkened her skin with makeup to play the part. That said, she acts with the right fire and sings beautifully and evocatively. During a long, uncut performance of "Wild Is the Wind," one of Simone's signature songs, we suddenly see why jazz fans swooned at her feet. VERDICT: "In The Zone" - [Mixed Reaction] These kinds of movies are usually movies that had some good things, but some bad things kept it from being amazing. This rating says buy an ex-rental or a cheap price of the DVD to own. If you consider cinema, ask for people's opinion on the film. (Films that are rated 2.5 or 3 stars)

uste eden dobar muzicki film za golemata legendarna Nina Simone...film koj vredi da se pogledne, posebno tie sto ja cenat i slusaat...edinstvenoto sto ne stima vo filmov e sto Zoe Saldana e premnogu zgodna i ubava za da ja igra Nina :)

Despite Zoe Saldana's fairly decent performance, this film is a disappointing biographical drama to the great Nina Simone. The script is bland, the sequences boring, and the musical moments don't represent her powerful voice.

"Nina" might of been passable had it been made for the Lifetime channel, but Zoe Saldana's performance is the only thing commendable about this tragic, unfocused ode to the soul singer that doesn't even come close to highlighting her impactful legacy.

Zoe gives a commendable performance but fails to convince eventually because she is, after all, documenting a period of the life of one of the most complicated Afro-personalities -- the High Priestess of Jazz herself. So, what we get is just diva reborn on screen when Nina is so much more. Her rel. with the attendant-manager is also somewhat weak given the tumultuous marrage Nina had with her ex-. And vocally trying to channel Nina is just a bad move. Nina is incomparable, and Saldana's voice is just too smooth, too airy, that in the end this is just an missed opportunity, or one that shd not have been attempted at all unless by an actress with more gravitas/grit.

Original Biopic about her French period and her last Manager Cliffon. Abominable Woman, Wonderful Character. Well Done Zoé Saldana.

When you are playing the role of someone who is no longer with us, you revive them. You do it out of adoration, love and respect. You fill their shoes because you've spent your life wishing that you could. You become humble and allow them to be great as reflected through you. Your struggles become amplified to show their survival instincts. You do it with reverence. Nothing about this film came close to that and it was painful to see.

A bit miserable. A bit worthless. No point. The end caps told more about her life than the entire feature. Why do a film if the person is a terrible individual? Poor filmmaking. Poor writing. Controversy completely aside.

It was ok. I didn't know MIke epps was in this movie also. I see why it didn't last in the box office. It wasn't a bad story though. #SheCrazy

The recent documentary was so much better. If you don't know anything about Nina Simone, you will be left wondering about her body of work and how she could have been nominated for 15 Grammys.

Not a fan of black face!
