Speechless...
I have watched this film repeatedly since purchasing it years ago. There are not enough words to describe my emotions while viewing this film. There is no way that you can disrespect Toni Morrison's work as portrayed via this film which was so deftly done by Jonathan Demme and acted out by Oprah/Glover/Elise/Newton/Richards. NO WAY. You must feel this movie. Read the book and appreciate the movie. One of the most soul-stirring scenes is the one with Beah Richards as the preacher and the brothers singing and dancing!! For me, it was heart renching.

both words apply
there are two words that my wife and I hardly ever use: awesome and excellent. both words fit this movie. Oprah should be making more movies, and fewer talk shows. A dark and beautiful movie, definitely not for the faint-hearted.

This is Oprah !
I bought this for my collection because I had seen it originally in the theater. The comments coming out of that showing were really negative. I had mixed reviews then, but thought I would watch it again; it is after all Oprah, and her performance in The Color Purple was wonderful. Danny Glover we just don't see enough of ever, and he shines here for sure. I didn't read the book, but in the movie there is such a deep level of darkeness and pain. Talk about Mothers guilt! It's difficult catching on to what's going on, and for someone who doesn't catch on easily, don't bother. I do recommend watching this movie, even if you have to take a break!
