An Amazing Performance!, 24 February 2002
8/10
Author: Heather from Bloomfield, Connecticut, USA

The performance of Angela Bassett and the other actors in the movie was great. They portrayed the parts of the story that most people do not know. It brought out so many emotions, I could hardly control them. Like Rosa, I'd refuse to leave my seat, [or rather my sofa], as well.
