Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor Says Hollywood Needs More Films Like ‘The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat’: ‘There Is a Lack of Curiosity About Black Women’
'The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat’ stars Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Sanaa Lathan, Uzo Aduba & director Tina Mabry on honoring Black women's stories.
Set in a small southern town, the film follows lifelong friends Odette (Ellis-Taylor), Clarice (Aduba) and Barbara Jean (Lathan) as they experience the joys and sorrows of life, grasping tightly to their friendship until a series of tragedies during their middle-age years threatens to rip them apart. Since the story follows the women from age 18 to 50, the veteran actors worked with their younger counterparts, Kyanna Simone (Odette), Tati Gabrielle (Barbara Jean) and Abigail Achiri (Clarice), to ensure cohesiveness across the film. More than just a flat story about the ups and downs of life and friendship, “The Supremes” has the same texture and nuance that made films like “Waiting to Exhale” and “Fried Green Tomatoes” so beloved.
