FOR COLORED GIRLS... FROM TYLER PERRY?!Jo: Save your "sorry." One thing I don't need are anymore apologies. I got sorry greeting me at the front door. You can keep yours. I don't know what to do with them... I can't even... I have to throw some away. I can't even get to the clothes in my closet for all the sorries. I'm not even sorry about you being sorry.
Based on Ntozake Shange's play "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf," this film, packed with star power and breathtaking performances, is a different kind of movie. It is a mix of poetry, Broadway play and film that while strange at first, blends into a lovely and unexpected product. Many of these women are raw, clinging to desperate lives and their actions and what they react to is not always pretty. In fact, because it is so real and happens every day, it almost becomes more scary to watch than a Wes Craven film. They deal with abuse and abusers of all kinds and still manage to find the strength within themselves to navigate through. It is not your average Tyler Perry film and won't be for everyone. But it is beautiful and poetic and lovely all in itself. Be sure to watch the bonus on how they gave each character both a name and a color of the rainbow through wardrobe. Lovely.
