This is a drama about an African American family. It specifically examines the experiences of black women of different generations back at the time, with a focus on the difficult relationships between mothers and their daughters. It's a pretty involving film, with really well drawn characters, many of whom act fairly badly to one and other. By the end it is immersive enough that you will be hoping for some kind of resolution for the title character. This is definitely an unusual film for its day - there weren't too many black movies which dealt with such issues with such realism and honesty (even today, are there that many?). Its definitely well worth a spin.
