i absolutely hate it when people are loud during movies but i’ll make an exception for the woman who kept yelling some variation of “YESSSSS” or “OKAYYY” almost every time danielle brooks appeared on screen. she was right and she should speak her truth. incredible…

CodyOct 14, 2024Never seen the original musical but I just don't know if the songs added all that much to the story, and the direction made everything feel less engrossing than the original film. Spielberg obviously wasn't a good fit for this story but the man knew how to frame an…

This movie blew me away. Just as great if not better than Spielberg’s original film. This movie deserves some awards attention. It’s one of the best films of 2023.
Bella Kamiya is "meh" onThe Color PurpleWill definitely be revisiting the soundtrack, and I liked the storyline/themes as well so you think I’d enjoy the movie… but every scene is dragged out wayyyy longer than it needs to be to the point that I cared abt nothing and no one the last hour
Lizzie LaFont lovedThe Color PurpleFINALLY. i should've seen this in theatres....... beautiful film. ate down
- Madison Dixon likedThe Color Purple
This movie is a musical in the POV of a black woman in the 1900s. I think that the way the cinematography was and the actual writing of the story was beautiful. The voices, the cast were great, even if it was a remake of the original. I’d definitely say this is worth the watch
Essence H lovedThe Color Purple10/10! This remake was SO good!! So many great actors/actresses! So much emotion! All the classic lines you know & love from the original movie with a musical feel. If you have not seen this movie yet, definitely purchase a ticket to see it! 💜
Advid movie watcher lovedThe Color PurpleReally good, It is a musical (for those who don’t know) I love musicals but it wasn’t advertised as one. The story was beautiful and gave homage to the original movie without feeling like a remake. Its its own thing.
- Kaitlyn Clay likedThe Color Purple
This movie was a bank. A straight way for straight money. No one can redo the original color purple because of its massive accomplishments. It’s like someone trying to be the new next Michael Jackson. This alliteration of a film… 7/10
Hannah Gomez likedThe Color PurpleIt’s a good movie and fun to watch but I definitely recommend reading the book for more context before!! The book is really good btw it’s not a waste of your time🤩
Cinematic Joshua likedThe Color PurpleA dazzling musical that will empower and move you (to tears).

I literally had chills throughout the whole movie! The whole cast was star studded and I absolutely love Fantasia’s voice!
EFElijah FisherIt’s alright. If you’ve seen the original Color Purple, there is definitely a noticeable changes throughout the entire film. There’s line said in the first movie in a scene and those lines would be said exactly the same in a new scene about a similar context. Also this…

The Color Purple ultimately works far better in pieces than as a whole. Considering those pieces contain some of the best moments I’ve seen in 2023, I’m able to put my concerns aside as a mildly nagging uncertainty.

It’s a blazingly vibrant, emotionally resonant and exhilarating movie musical that does justice to Alice Walker’s iconic 1982 novel and the subsequent stage and movie versions while forging new creative paths and standing on its own as a bold and original work.

Another reason to embrace “Purple” is that the moving film is graced by a duo of exceptional performers in Barrino and Danielle Brooks as Sofia who, while singing, capture the electricity of being live onstage, and, while acting, take advantage of the raw intimacy of a close-up. Getting that combo right in movie musicals is rarer than you’d think.
