One of the best biopics out there, especially in that area. The only other one that rates that high my mind could be the current Elvis biopic. Her story is amazing right up until the current day. She's been an interesting icon. The music soundtrack is outstanding, and above all the acting. The intensity of the domestic brutality comes through. I can make you uncomfortable, because it is so filled with anguish, pain, suffering. This relationship is the epitome of what domestic violence looked like especially then, and carries on to current times. Growing up the way she did what and when she did is also an interesting part of the movie. I just watched it again after many many years and it's still awesome and relevant. Angela Bassett was incredible so was Lawrence Fishburne, but Angela stole the show. She was amazing throughout.
