While I admired the acting in this film, I thing I struggled with the storyline for Barbara Jean. I didn't like the interracial relationship's setup as I felt it became a "white savior" complex. I think it sucked that Lester's killed off. We are left with only one redeeming black man in the film which is Odette's husband James. I didn't like the ambiguity of Clarice's relationship with Richmond at the end. Barbara Jean's son's murder was devastating. The young actress who played her did a fantastic job. The death scene made me sick to my stomach. However, I'm glad the murderer got his "come upping."

I watched this film in my college class, it's a course where we watch all kinds of movies. This is a movie I probably wouldn't have watched had it not been for the course, I'm a 30 y/o guy that typically goes for the action, sci-fi, thriller type of flicks.

It started off with some scenes that I felt like I'd seen before in other movies but around 20 mins or so in the film really came alive. I started to actually care about the characters. This film takes place in 2 timelines, one where the cast is in their early 20's and one where they are in their early 50's. While the younger actresses held their own it was their older, veteran counterparts that really drew me in. Their acting and chemistry was top notch. Yes there were some corny parts and I understand why the rating is in the 6's but man their ability to deliver on emotional scenes nearly had me in tears like three times. Yet the film never felt too heavy, it would get deep when necessary then lighten back up like a rain cloud dispersing for the sun.

I'm glad I watched this one, I enjoyed it so much I recommended it to my mom and she really loved it. IMDB only lets you give whole numbers but I'd say it was a 6.8/10, which for me is a pretty solid score.

I just finished watching this movie and I had to race here to see what score it received on IMDB. Today is 8/24/24 and it's a 6.9. It deserves a higher score. This movie was amazing. All 6 women, the ladies that portrayed the younger versions of the main characters and the women that played the modern day version were phenomenal. I laughed and cried multiple times. It was entertaining from the beginning to the end of the movie. They captured grief, betrayal, love and struggles so beautifully. I felt like I was watching people I knew. After the movie my heart felt so full. This movie should have been in movie theaters. I would have paid to go see it. I know I'm going to tell everyone I know to watch it. I highly recommend it.
