Movie: For Colored Girls
Cast: Kimberly Elise, Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine, Thandie Newton, Anika Noni Rose, Whoopi Goldberg
Genre: Drama
I saw it on: November 8, 2010
Synopsis: A multi-thread movie follows a number of black women and the troubles they are having – usually involving bad men. If memory serves, out of all of the couples in this movie, there was only one man that was worth a damn. No matter how rich an powerful or how dirt-poor – these women had troubles to deal with.
My two cents: While there was some really great acting in this movie, the depressing circumstances of these women started getting to me after a while. Once scene in particular, dealing with an abusive war-damaged man (Michael Ealy) and his two young children left me rattled for the rest of the movie. Worth seeing – but plan on being emotionally drained by the time you exit the theatre.
