Blitz Bazawule’s adaptation of Alice Walker’s 1982 novel, “The Color Purple,” masterfully blends the strengths of previous adaptations into a potent hybrid. Following Celie’s tumultuous journey, portrayed by Phylicia Pearl Mpasi and Fantasia Barrino, the film delves into themes of abuse, loss, and the solace found in sisterhood. The standout performances by Mpasi, Barrino, and Danielle Brooks as Sofia, showcase the characters’ depth and emotional resonance. However, Taraji P. Henson’s portrayal of Shug falls short with noticeable overacting. Visit afdah movies for more!
