The Secret She Kept (2016 TV Movie)
10/10
Beautiful story that shines a realistic light on Mental Illness
21 April 2024
Grateful for such a transparent and raw movie on mental heath in the black community. This movie was not only shocking but eye opening and informative. I didn't expect it to make me tear up at the end but it sure did. It's not an Oscar winner but it is a candid portrayal of what could be anyone's story dealing with mental illness. I love the unconditional love showed in this film. Kyla Pratt adds a nice touch as well as the male lead. As skeptical as I was of the film I ended it with an inspirational outlook and more compassion and respect for those who suffer with these demons. Kudos to the cast and and the production team. Well done. Decent script, no guns, drug use, sex or unnecessary stereotypes perpetuated just good storytelling and realism. A breath of fresh air for african american films.

Good spin on an old classic
24 November 2023
Loved this musical. Well done twist on an old timeless classic. Better than I expected. Great music, good actors , and good director. I wish more black films could be like this. The selections could of lasted a bit longer. Songs were a bit too short. But the film was great and it was a beautiful movie. Neyo could have sang just a little bit more. They were a bit stingy with the singing lol other than that it was awesome.

Serayah and Neyo did a good job acting. Children were cast well. Script was well done and a nice change from the original. Songwriters are to be praised and lauded. Nice christian film.

Chevalier (2022)
10/10
Pleasant Surprise
17 June 2023
Great story and amazing history. Beautiful music, costumes, set design, and excellent direction. A true work of art. Kelvin contributed a riveting performance. Stunning cast.

So happy the producers were able to recover Joseph's music to create this beautiful film and although it plays like a tragedy, it is a quite redemptive and necessary biopic.

All in all, if you are wondering if you should see it, dont even hesistate! What are you waiting for. Run dont walk to see this brilliant masterpiece.

Costume dept deserves an oscar so many pieces were absolutely breathtaking. All of the actors were impeccable. I truly enjoyed this film.
