    Excellent movie that covers this time in history. Denzel Washington is superb as usual.

    I'm sorry. My husband & I did not like this movie. The movie started out very boring. The story-line was too common. The acting though was fantastic...I guess we just found it too slow-moving.

    I was not sure how I would like this film as it is from a screenplay, however I did! The subject, acting and amazing dialogue kept me glued to the screen. Denzel Washington and Viola Davis were wonderful however, I was drawn to his best friend Bono. He did not say much but, his expressions, and gentle wisdom left me thinking acting is not all about words.. I enjoyed this film very much and will go see it again.. Thank you so much!

    We really enjoyed this movie with its portrayal of the struggles of a black family in the mid 50'S through, to the late 1960's. The commitment of the spousal relationship amid selfishness and the value of great forgiveness, both in life and in death, demonstrates the power of human relationships. We found the range of emotions to be passionate, intense and understanding. The movie ends with the power of the triumph of unconditional love.

    I found the movie slightly boring and long, boring because the whole movie is pretty much is in the same scene all over again. But actors did a wonderful job!

    The acting was great but the plot was not what I expected. Way too many monotonous rants. It was quite long and did not engage me at all.

    Nothing was every changed or accomplished in this movie - the Dad was a jerk from the beginning and everyone just let him be that way. I don't like violence in a movie but by the end I wanted lots of blood and guts and I wanted to see him DIE - that is how much you despise his character. Don't waste your money on this movie - Worse movie I have ever seen and I though because Denzel Washington had never been in a bad movie that I would like it. So glad when it finally ended and I could go home.

    Boring. Too much monologue. Depressing. Acting good, but that was it.

    great acting by all cast members, especially Viola Davis...For first thirty minutes, I felt as if I were watching a play, then everything started to mesh in a good way....Found out afterwards, it was a play first...interesting...
