The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2020)
Holiday, beloved in American for her unique voice, becomes the focus of a sting operation when she refuses to stop performing her song "Strange Fruit." Because it wasn't illegal to sing a protest song on the subject of lynching, they went after her drug use instead by embedding an undercover agent in her entourage.
The best I can say about this movie is that it's absolutely fine. I can't point to anything really wrong about it, but I was pretty bored. It felt like it hit the same beats over and over.
