"Demme succeeds uncannily well in bringing the novel's pulse to the screen."
"Using overwhelmingly potent performances, audacious static close-ups, assertive lighting, and a rigorous yet lyrical interweaving of events... this terrifyingly beautiful movie blends metaphor and stark social commentary to achieve a spontaneous grace."
This film is part of the REMIX: The Black Experience in Film, Media, and Art series.
