This was absolutely one of the best movies I've seen.
Excellent performances from a marvelous A-List cast that will move you from smiles to laughter to tears and back.
I couldn't help but care about the characters. Ms. Merkerson will blow you away, as will the young man playing the young lead.
I also thought that the set design was top-rate. The viewer is really placed inside each era as it's presented.
The music is a blast, too. Nice selections to represent mood, time and place. The blind blues man is stereotypic but he delivers some great songs.
This is a great story that will survive many repeated viewings. Take the time to watch it!
