Les Suprêmes

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.

This beautifully shot movie has it all. The beginning felt a little choppy to me, but once you get into the story, you can't help but get invested. The characters were all well thought out, and showed some of the best and worst of humanity. It had me laughing out loud and ugly-crying, sometimes at the same time. And how they jumped around in the time periods was never confusing. Now I need to go find the book because if the movie was this beautiful, I'm sure the book is even better. Why some of these actors didn't get Oscars for their performances is beyond me. All around a very beautiful and well-made movie.

Great storyline some wont get it so they will rate it low and not a good movie put White folks in the roles and it would be a hit.

Anyway the story is good and so is the acting. Great scenery, old costumes and cars from the past were a blast to see.

Their stories are real. As a Black woman I could identify very well with the characters unlike the reviews by White people which are typical of their character. Each suffered life tragedies that do happen but their friendship helped them to survive all the pain. Death happens, lost love happens, affairs happens, sickness happens a d lasting friendships happen.

Give the movie a chance, see it for yourself with an open mind and heart which unfortunately some people in this day and time don't possess.

Loaded with an amazing cast that has such a huge body of work I'm not surprised I enjoyed it. But as a movie I felt it was a little rushed through the story. This heartfelt story of three strong women from their birth and upbringing to their older years has been a welcomed viewing.

The tragedy and triumphs depicted are some that many of us can relate to and though the story skims over some of the emotions one may feel, I think the film hits its mark. If this movie were to be made with the same cast and crew into a miniseries, of six or more episodes, I would give it a 10 out of 10. Perhaps they thought people wouldn't embrace a series and felt cutting it down to two hours would be more agreeable for most viewers.

This movie made me feel like I was laying in the bed on a rainy Sunday watching the lifetime channel of the 80s and 90s. If you know that feeling then you know this was a GOOD drama. It gave me a feeling I hadn't felt in a while, it was a movie that I could connect with and the movie had a purpose. It told 3 very different stories of women navigating personal challenges. I personally loved it and kinda wish this had been a mini series instead of a movie. I was left wanting more of the story..

The acting was great, the story telling was rich, and most of all I felt good watching it.. it's definitely a movie I will watch more than once!
