I have a new found respect for Miss Fantasia! Not only did she do a wonderful job playing herself, but you are left inspired by her story.
This movie was well casted and directed brilliantly by Debbie Allen. Lorretta Divine is just that! Kadeem Hardison is a riot and adds comedic flavor to the mix. Viola Davis is a joy to watch as Fantasia's mother. Thomas Hyde III does a nice job in the supporting role of her brother.
There are wonderful musical segments that enhance the story as well-just enough that it doesn't take away from the plot.
This is something that you just have to see for yourself. I suggest you have a box of tissues next to you.
