Reese Witherspoon Hosts Special Screening of 'Queen & Slim'!

Melina Matsoukas happily poses for a photograph with Reese Witherspoon while attending a special screening of her film Queen & Slim held at The London on Tuesday (December 17) in West Hollywood, Calif.

The 43-year-old Big Little Lies star hosted the screening for Melina and also moderated a little Q&A for the movie, which stars Oscar nominee Daniel Kaluuya and newcomer Jodie Turner-Smith.

Here’s a plot summary: while on a forgettable first date together in Ohio, a black man (Kaluuya) and a black woman (Turner-Smith), are pulled over for a minor traffic infraction. The situation escalates, with sudden and tragic results, when the man kills the police officer in self-defense. Terrified and in fear for their lives, the man, a retail employee, and the woman, a criminal defense lawyer, are forced to go on the run. But the incident is captured on video and goes viral, and the couple unwittingly become a symbol of trauma, terror, grief and pain for people across the country.

Queen & Slim is playing in select theaters now – Watch the trailer here!

FYI: Melina Matsoukas is wearing Baja East.
