Julianne T What a waste of a good premise. The only part worth watching was the last ten minutes. If the movie was a 5 hour long uncut interview of this lovely woman, it would have felt 10x better paced and 20x as engaging. There's so much material available for this story to be told, and so much love put into the sets and acting; if only anyone else in the world had written it for them. Whoever wrote this needs to get "show, don't tell" tattooed in reverse on their forehead so they can see it every time they look in the mirror. So much stiff dialogue could have been avoided with even a whiff of the concept of context clues. If they wanted to write a history channel documentary with a bunch of talking heads and b-role, they should have done that instead of trying to make a Tyler Perry movie of it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Willette C Here’s a movie that was handled with tender, loving care. The care is seen in the locations and environments (costumes, props, etc.); the measured rhythm, the beautifully shot cinematography - careful and intimate; crisp dialogue, excellent lighting, tight editing and transitions, not to mention the honorable tribute the actors superbly played to the actual women of determination, fortitude and genius. Mr. Perry, the entire cast and production crew did an OUTSTANDING job. YESSSS!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
