John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture 01/13/2018
Latifah seizes the screen and our imagination every minute she's on camera, and an all-star cast-Anna Deavere Smith, Wendell Pierce, Gloria Reuben, Rachel Nicks-has pitched in to make a message movie with love and bite. Go to Full Review Robert Koehler Variety 01/30/2007

Shayla C 05/07/2024 This is such a great movie and tells the true story well. It's a tad bit slow but I actually really enjoyed. Not all slow movies are bad. See more 03/27/2019 I saw this movie many years ago...and what a strong performance each actor played.... See more 06/14/2014 I love Queen Latifah. and I realize how important the subject matter is, but I just could not bring myself to enjoy this movie. The production quality is poor, to the point of being distracting. The whole thing is very slow moving and far too understated, and that takes away whatever power the story may have had. I was disappointed. See more 01/28/2014 Queen Latifah is a genuine and she plays her role as if it were her own. See more 04/27/2013 not as good as previous 2 *cube* movies.. having more cliche storyline.. still quite interesting and watchable :) See more 11/01/2012 great movie aware people See more Read all reviews
