In December 2020, an adaptation of Edward Kelsey Moore's novel The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat was in development, which was to be directed by Tina Mabry, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Gina Prince-Bythewood.
[20]Lovia Gyarkye of The Hollywood Reporter said Mabry’s adaptation of Moore’s book effectively portrays deep friendships among older Black women, focusing on their reflections following the death of a patriarchal figure.
Gyarkye found the film notable for its tender handling of the characters' personal and romantic struggles, with strong performances from the cast adding depth to its sentimental narrative.
[21] Amy Nicholson of The New York Times said The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat offers a melodramatic array of themes, including adultery, alcoholism, and murder, presented with a mix of humor and pathos.
