Entertainment Reviews:
Nina feels like a movie made by people who fundamentally misunderstood Nina Simone. It conclusively proves that representation behind the camera is as important as representation on screen.

Lainey Gossip
If this is a greatest hits album, Nina picks the least-accessible songs and then puts them all in the wrong order.

Washington City Paper
Rating: 1/4 --
While Saldana gives her very best in trying to embody the essence of Miss Simone with equal support from co-star David Oyelowo, both are confined to a weak script and for Saldana, probably the worst makeup job she's had on the big screen.

A Nina Simone novice seeing this picture would have no idea who this complex, magnificent artist was, or why she mattered.

Rating: D --
An insult to the legacy of the High Priestess of Soul, those looking for a richer exploration of the woman, artist, activist and legend, are best served elsewhere.

Saldana does a fine job of delivering the lyrics -- a daunting task for any actress required to step into those vocals, but fans of Simone will be aching for the real deal.

Chicago Sun-Times
The prevalence of his crude symbolism begs the question of whether the imagery is meant to buttress a childlike worldview, or whether the filmmaking itself underestimates the viewer's intelligence.

Product Description:
This biopic of legendary musician Nina Simone (Zoe Saldana) focuses on the singer in her sixties as she forges an unusual relationship with a younger nurse named Clifton Henderson (David Oyelowo), whom she asks to be her personal assistant and accompany her to the South of France. Henderson is soon forced to deal with Simone's erratic behavior, and he ultimately tries to mount a comeback concert for her in New York City. Written and directed by Cynthia Mort.
