MOVIE REVIEW: FOR COLORED GIRLS (15)

“TYLER PERRY’S 
BEST WORK HANDSDOWN”

SLIDER’S REVIEW

If you have not seen this movie yet then guys take your woman to see this great film or Ladies call up your girlfriends, grab some tissues and head for the cinema because this one drama that shouldn’t be missed.

For Colored Girls is a drama play taken from Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf. Tyler Perry directed and produced his version has got to be his Best Work to date. He was able to capture the true meaning behind lives of these women of color.

This film is Moving, Touching & very Realistic. The characters on screen connect straight away. Its interesting to see how each lives interacts into each others through the movie. The stories being told on screen can be related to by most women and men. I like the fact that it invites the audience into the lives of these characters and shows us what real life is like for some people. Its not just a movie about race, its much deeper than that.

There are Poems in this movie which are beautifully written. The poem connects because of the way the women recite them. The acting in this film is just simply amazing to watch. Having a great cast and such a good storyline makes a great movie and that’s what this film is.

There’s a bunch of beautiful women in this film. (9 in fact) All the acting in this film is so genuine that I couldn’t find much fault with anyone. Actresses like Kimberly Elise, Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine, Thandie Newton, Anika Noni Rose, Kerry Washington, Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad & Whoppi Goldberg all do a wonderful job on screen. Janet Jackson’s character could have been acted out better than is it was. She looked a little stiff on screen.

Out of all the women my favourite would have to be Kimberly Elise for her role as Crystal. She deserves an award for that role.

Hopefully this film will get the recognition it deserves. #OscarNominations
