For Colored Girls
audience Reviews
, 73% Audience Score- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsThis movie shed light on so many issues women deal with but keep it to themselves. It also helped open a dialogue between us and be there for each other. Sad movie but truthful.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsWatching this movie as an adult makes me view it in a different light. I see so many reviews about the long monologues and the sad stories but that’s the point. It’s FOR COLORED GIRLS so if that’s not you, the film probably won’t resonate with you. It’s a sad movie yes, because sad tragic things happen in real life. This is a film you watch once every 10 years. It reminds you of the shared experiences of women & why community is so important.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 starsI didn't like it too much, but I couldn't look away. I'm older and a lot of it was hard to hear and the scenes were violent and exhausting. Some of the poetry was odd, but I guess since the film was made from this poetry, I guess it had it's place. The film just wore me out. Would not recommend.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 starsUnfortunately, Tyler Perry's 'For Colored Girls' left me disappointed. The film's heavy-handed approach felt like an emotional sledgehammer, with moments of melodrama that bordered on excessive. The oversimplified portrayal of complex issues came off as superficial, and the adaptation from Ntozake Shange's play seemed to miss the mark, leaving me yearning for the depth and nuance that the source material promised but failed to deliver on the screen.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsWow! Janet Jackson is the highlight.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsThis movie got to me. When I saw that man take his own kids and dangle them from that apartment building, that upset me. That was really sad. I can't stop thinking about how messed up that was.
- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsThe plot was shocking but enjoyable. The only thing that messed it up was how the scenes delved into poetry. It made it much less realistic. Made me say "get to the point already!"
- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsVery under rated movie. Heart wrenching stories told by an all-star studded cast of black women. Grab a Box of Kleenex, you'll need it
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsThis movie typifies real dysfunction, not just for "Colored GIrls," but for women damaged in virtually every way possible. Yet is is compelling in that self-examination for the movie goer can't be escaped.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 starsWorst movie ever it was torture to watch!
