An aging, affluent woman returns to her Senegalese village with a diabolical proposition for the townspeople who banished her: kill the long-ago love who impregnated and abandoned her, and receive a fortune.
John Singleton’s follow-up to his critically acclaimed, Oscar-nominated Boyz n the Hood casts two of the biggest music superstars of all time—Janet Jackson (sporting now-iconic box braids) and Tupac Shakur (displaying his softer side)—and builds a free-flowing road movie romance around their undeniable chemistry. Peppered with the poetry of Maya Angelou and featuring a scintillating, scene-stealing performance by Regina King, Poetic Justice is a sensitive, hopeful depiction of Black struggle, joy, and creativity.
