I didn't really want to see Soul Food that much but I thought I might as well give it a go. I was fully impressed. I was glued to my seat the whole way through. The acting is superb, the storyline is both funny and touching. It is an unmissable film telling the story of an Afro-American family going through hard times.
Trust me, Soul Food is a good film which left me shocked at how touching and how nice the film was.
My rating : 8/10.
