Decent movie well acted. The well anticipated Halley Barry sex scene was laugh out loud funny, not sexy at all
Great plot with an all-star cast doing it justice. Great film.
So much passionate, dramatic acting. Really complicated characters in a simple story. Fantastic
A very brutal drama. Thornton performs powerfully and Halle so irresistible. Strong character study that stays with you.
Underrated movie with an Oscar worthy performance by Berry.
An emotionally intense drama about redemption, masculinity and race inequality told through an excellent camera work
abusive parents fall in love. i thought it was a decent movie with mildly good commentary on racism but all the characters were insufferable
This has a great message. The acting is good. It would best fill time on a Sunday afternoon.
Excellent drama, dark and thoughtful with great performances from all. Worth a watch
It’s a good movie in some ways but is just wrong in a lot of other ways. Watch for yourself.
