Multifaceted like a Diamond, Nov 10 2010
By Movie Collector "Jazz1152" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: For Colored Girls (DVD)
I absolutely loved this movie. I titled my review "Multifaceted" because Black women are multifaceted like diamonds. They are beautiful and come in all colors, are strong and endure. Some may be a little rough around the edges at first but if or when that precious gem finally shines through they are awesome.I also loved this movie because it didn't focus on one part of the Black female culture. It showed Black women who are successful, talented, trusting, naive, hopeful, bitter, religious, fanatic, loving, intelligent, insightful, wise, troubled and above all strong.
I truly hope that critics don't take the title literally and label it as just a movie about Black women. The issues that the characters faced concerned all women. Any woman, Black, White, Hispanic, etc. can see a little bit of themselves in at least one of the characters. I saw a little of myself in at least three.
Thank you Tyler Perry for bringing this wonderful story to the big screen.

Powerful and many teachable moments for ALL girls and boys, Jan 2 2011
By P. Estwick - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: For Colored Girls (DVD)
I watched this one with my wife...and to say we "enjoyed it" doesn't quite seem sufficient or even apt here.While black women are indeed the focal point characters..there are indeed so many colors on display that all girls and boys can learn a lot or at least ask themselves some serious questions regardless of origin...
Some couldnt watch the scenes in this one in the movie theatre...it was too powerful they said, too strong,too much...but they went back after pulling themselves together.
Tyler take a bow....I don't need Hollywood to justify your place among the very best for me....but it would be nice ...around awards time.
God Bless you Sir.

Empowering Movie, Nov 15 2010
By Sharen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: For Colored Girls [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I was a little worried about how they were going to write a script from a poem into a movie, but they pulled it off. This movie was telling the story of black women, but it could have been any women in these stories. We all have choices and not all of the choices are wise but we do have the ability to change our course in life and this movie showed this. From domestic violence and rape to abortion, nothing was left unturned.I would recommend this to be part of a women's study curriculum or at the least apart of sex/health education. I am a married woman in her 40's with children and any one of those could have been me. I highly recommend this movie for every woman, especially young women.
