Shirley (John Ridley, 2024), Netflix
This biopic of the inspirational Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to the US congress, focuses not on that 1968 victory but her equally groundbreaking 1972 run for the US presidency. The always impressive Regina King dominates the screen as the Brooklyn politician who hates politicking, and is single-minded, bordering on obstinate even, as her campaign for the Democratic nomination fails to gain traction. It’s a largely down-the-line tale but, along with the recent Rustin, is another chapter in Black history that deserves an airing. Simon Wardell
