The Forty-Year-Old Version

In the wonderful film <em>The Forty-Year-Old Version</em>, playwright Radha Blank plays a variation on herself. Frustrated by a stall in her theater career, Radha finds a new passion: she becomes a rapper. The film is so good that we recently added it to <a href="https://slate.com/culture/2023/02/best-black-movies-directors-streaming.html">the New Black Film Canon</a> – a list of the best films by Black directors that we updated in partnership with Slate. And you can watch it on Netflix.
