There are two victims of Lee Daniels' directorial clumsiness: Billie Holiday, who deserved a better film portrait; and Andra Day, who deserved a more appropriate movie to shine. This is a reductionist film: it reduces Billie Holiday to a drug addict who is a good singer; and reduce the historic racial conflict to one song. There's such a messy editing and such erratic directing that it seems surprising.
