deadline.comHulu’s drama The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat, based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Edward Kelsey Moore, is a heartfelt period piece reminiscent of other classic ensembles such as Waiting to Exhale or Steel Magnolias.
The film follows three best friends, Odette (Aunjanue Ellis and Kyanna Simone), Barbara Jean (Sanaa Lathan and Tati Gabrielle) and Clarice (Uzo Aduba and Abigail Achiri), known as “The Supremes” because of how close the women are since their youth, who, for over four decades, face the difficulties of love, marriage, loss, grief and occasional joys that life has to offer.
