Terrifically affecting, 24 October 2007

I hope this finds wider release!

An emotional, funny, and razor-sharp look at African-American actresses struggling to succeed in Hollywood without losing everything they hold dear.

The actresses speak for themselves, and all of them are a delight. Highlights were Jasmine Guy, Vanessa Williams, Tasha Smith, and Regina King, but especially Sheryl Lee Ralph, who set the screen on fire. Among the younger actresses, Meagan Good and Malinda Williams are standouts.

Watching this, I couldn't help but contrast the plight of these women, who must smile in the face of unrelenting prejudice, with that of the apparently endless series of white actresses checking into rehab (but still getting contracts).

This documentary will make you laugh, flinch, and cry. I want to see it again!
