A Cor do Amor: A História de Jacey

Whether any indictment was intended must be taken into consideration. If in the year 2000 there were still rifts of feeling between Caucasian and Afro-Americans in Georgia, such as shown in this film, obviously there remains a somewhat backward mentality among a lot of people out there. It is rather hypocritical, to say the least, if everyone adores Halle Berry, Whoopie Goldberg, Beyoncé, Noemi Campbell, Denzel Washington, Will Smith, et. al., whilst out in the backs there persist manifest racial divides.

White grandmother suddenly gets black grand-daughter thrust upon her, only to meet up with black grandfather in a very white social backwater. The story is sweet, not lacking tragic overtones, and eminently predictable as in most of these kinds of TV films, though the final scene has you guessing............ will he? won't he.......?

Gena Rowlands in her typical style offers a sincere rendering, and Louis Gossett is a good match for her; the little Penny Bae fortunately does not steal the show.

A `nice' way of relaxing after Sunday lunch without having to force your mind too much, though you might just find yourself having a little siesta in the middle of it.

Gina Rowlands continues to improve her acting. This is her best performance and would warrant viewing for her alone. Lou Gossett gives his usual fine performance along with the rest of the cast. The director had many opportunities to "ham it" but didn't. Instead he kept the prejudicial responses of all individuals within the realm reason.

I have been on a 90s lifetime movie kick on tubi lately and it recommended this movie. I know it's from 2000. But anyways..I really like Gena and Louis so I put it on while folding laundry. I was about a half hour in and hadn't even touched my laundry! I really enjoyed it! The acting was so good from the main characters to even the supporting ones. Jacey is so cute too. I felt everything they were ..it was that kind of movie. I was sad and teary eyed for them then smiling during the happy scenes. To me it seemed like such a realistic story. Sad.. but I loved how it ended. This is one of those movies that will stick with me for a bit. Watch it!

This film was excellent. A Southern Widow gets the call every mother dreads "there's been an accident". Imagine her surprise when moments after she finds out her daughter is gone forever, that she has a grand-daughter. At first Granma is all too ready to hand the child off to anyone else, but a twist of fate gives her some extra time with Jacey. Penny Bae Bridges is excellent in the role of a confused, loving little girl and Gena Rowlands as the conflicted southern gentlewoman...... Louis Gossett Jr. was a wonderful(as always) Grampa, so loving to his Granddaughter and so cold to Georgia. And I just loved Stella Parton!

I found this movie today, where has this diamond been hiding? Love that this fact has all topics/issues covered in today's world. It's also refreshing how they all came together to faced their fears and conquered any topic with communication. Even though, topics can be sensitive the writers got this one right. The grandma is an amazing actress along with Lou Gossett as well.

It's movies like these that are prior to 2000 that just proves they don't make them like they used to. This is a movie that will be legendary for years to come. They call these types a sleeper. A diamond that I just found. Enjoy.
