The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel

I had been waiting for this movie since the Clark Sisters were featured in Season One of Unsung. I was not disappointed. The casting, acting, and singing was phenomenal. Shout out to Aunjanue Ellis who embodied the very essence of Dr. Mattie Moss Clark. It's a trojan's task to weave a storyline that featured 6 principles - Dr. Clark, Jackie, Twinkie, Denise, Dorinda, and Karen. Mission accomplished as every second of the 2:30 production moved us through the storyline. The production team on screeen and behind the camera created an experience that had me glued to my seat. Job well done!

The last quarter of the movie felt extremely rushed and didn't provide the details of the events it mashed together at the end. Wish they would have done a 3 part movie similar to some of BETs past movies because this story definitely deserved it. Overall though awesome movie and all the ladies did great. Wonderful singing and beautiful tribute!

Many times a biopic will play up the drama and sensationalize the subjects' lives. In this instance, I felt like I got what I came for...yes, it was a "musical", it's the CLARK Sisters. But I also got a glimpse of the struggles of being great. Any time you have a group of relatives in business together, there will be misunderstandings, misuse of each other, and mistakes. But God. If you persevere by His Anointing and not just relying upon your weak humanity, you will fulfill God's purpose for your life. I enjoyed it very much. I will take 2 stars for the lack of development/depth of certain character arcs. But overall, a well done effort.

Aunjanue Ellis is the most underrated actress in Hollywood! She turns out great performance after great performance. The movie as a whole was entertaining and educational. I had no idea of the turbulence they endured. My only criticism would be I wish that there was more music. The music is what made them stars. But I won't end on that note. The casting was spot on. KeKe did her mom proud and Amber Riley was on point as Denise. Well done to all!

Very great movie ..Clark sisters are a gospel force..GREAT CAST...emmy please for this body of work...victory
