A Feast
3 June 2003 | by arslupae – See all my reviews

This movie is an incredible journey. The characters, especially Dearie B, are well-drawn, and so real. I have always admired Alfre Woodward, but this role brought a new dimension to my appreciation of her work. I was drawn in to the slow and romantic mood of this small town and this deeply tragic yet triumphant tale of growing up, leaving and not leaving home, and coming home again. It is lovely, lyrical and so resonant of the bittersweet taste of life.
