Billie Holiday during her career is targeted by the Federal Department of Narcotics with an undercover sting operation led by black Federal Agent Jimmy Fletcher, with whom she had a tumultuous affair.
Andra Day's fabulous performance aside, this biopic is well produced, but indecisive with its episodic narrative and, despite all effort, never quite transmits the racism and malevolence Billie Holiday was confronted with nor the true tragedy of her demise.
