This is a film
whose awards momentum has been huge, and is so far carrying it forward against the critical backlash which is now working against it: a cloud on its horizon no bigger than a man's hand, as they say, but maybe getting bigger.
As voters from the major organizations begin to cast their votes — the New York Film Critics Circle,
whose awards will be announced Thursday, SAG, and so on — they should not forget the joy, verve, and comedic skill that Haddish brought to Girls Trip and help build
momentum for an Oscar campaign.
