The Colour Purple's reviews

There\'s so much to see in the film that this critic made the rare choice to see the film twice before reviewing it. The experience deepens, in both good and bad ways, with a second watch. The performances are better ? Barrino\'s subtleties are easier to track, Brooks\' absolutely star-making turn is even more dazzling and heartbreaking ? but the overstuffed story sags more often and more obviously.

Despite its flaws, Bazawule\'s strength behind the camera and an incredible cast down the line make it a worthy adaptation.
