The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel

This was a good biopic by biopic standards; good casting, acting and singing. Aunjunue (possibly a misspell) Ellis is a force to be reckoned with. She bought a believability to her role as a mother. The only criticism I have is that it felt rushed towards the end and there were certain character developments that could've been pushed more.

NB: Amber Riley was not in this film. The actress who played Denise Clark is NOT Amber Riley!

The Story line was perfect. I'm so happy they included Denise & told her story as well. The singing was spot on.

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!

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.

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!
