Review of Beloved

Beloved (1998)
3/10
Disturbing and Haunting images
25 April 2001
This movie wore me out. The imagery is shocking and will leave you frightened and feeling confused. I did not like this movie. I admire the effort put into making the film and applaud the performances and the cinematography. However, it is a difficult film to sit through. An interesting and tragic story, "Beloved" should be seen only by those who loved the novel. I have not read the book nor do I want to after seeing this film. If you have not read the book, are not a die-hard Oprah fan and are not sure whether you will like this movie, skip it. Trust me, this movie is not worth watching unless you are a big fan of the novel and are prepared to endure the imagery..
