Tom Shales Washington Post 06/09/2018
Winfrey does try to offer TV entertainment of value and with values. But her latest ABC movie, "Their Eyes Were Watching God," is almost comically predictable... Go to Full Review

I think the film's concentration on the novel's romantic beats isn't a fault, but rather it speaks to the complexity of Hurston's story. Go to Full Review

Wild for N Sep 18 One of my top recommended old fashioned movies that no one seems to know about. You have to see it! It's a rare gem! See more 08/31/2020 Terrible horrible cringy movie starring Halle berry. Tea cake is kinda the best part of the movie and book. The ending was crazy good though but everything else sucked. See more 01/12/2019 Terrible horrible cringy movie starring Halle berry. Tea cake is kinda the best part of the movie and book. The ending was crazy good though but everything else sucked. See more 11/21/2016 I teach this novel and only watch the book to make a comparison and contrast between the book and the movie. We notice that the casting selection caused them to edit out large portions of the book that revealed distinct characterization. We make the clear distinctions between how the main characters are portrayed in the novel and movie. It's a disappointment to view it as anything but a contrast to the novel.
