The Color Purple

IT'S ABOUT LIFE. IT'S ABOUT LOVE. IT'S ABOUT US.

An epic tale spanning forty years in the life of Celie, an African-American woman living in the South who survives incredible abuse and bigotry. After Celie's abusive father marries her off to the equally debasing 'Mister' Albert Johnson, things go from bad to worse, leaving Celie to find companionship anywhere she can. She perseveres, holding on to her dream of one day being reunited with her sister in Africa.

    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.

    A visual spectacle with an epic storyline. The special effects were mind-blowing.

    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.
