What happened to Danielle Brooks?

I just finished watching the movie. There's a lot going on thematically, maybe too much, but I really appreciated Malcom Washington's directorial touches. I'm excited to see what he does in the future.

The acting is good across-the-board. I can understand why some think John David Washington is playing it too big, but that's also part of his character, and he also has some very effective quieter moments. Danielle Deadwyler is flat-out terrific.
