Ronilda R Diana Ross should have won an Emmy for her superb performance in this movie. She really comes off as a true schizophrenic. I wonder if she has schizophrenia. Anyhow, I recommend this movie five stars! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Sam B Powerful movie, Diana Ross gives an outstanding performance!
