This movie made me feel like I was laying in the bed on a rainy Sunday watching the lifetime channel of the 80s and 90s. If you know that feeling then you know this was a GOOD drama. It gave me a feeling I hadn't felt in a while, it was a movie that I could connect with and the movie had a purpose. It told 3 very different stories of women navigating personal challenges. I personally loved it and kinda wish this had been a mini series instead of a movie. I was left wanting more of the story..
The acting was great, the story telling was rich, and most of all I felt good watching it.. it's definitely a movie I will watch more than once!

This was a great movie. At first I thought it would be too long. I didn't even notice the 2 hours because it kept up the pace. It's about life, it's ups and downs. I didn't have any expectations and I loved how it moved through the years. I thought it would be sad; however, I could relate to the plot. The actors were great, some very funny scenes...sad too. It's a great watch if you like really really good movies that are not fairytale-ish. And movies that have great endings where life goes on, good and bad. Hidden gem that I can rewatch and still love this movie. I recommend watching, it's worth it.
I watched this film in my college class, it's a course where we watch all kinds of movies. This is a movie I probably wouldn't have watched had it not been for the course, I'm a 30 y/o guy that typically goes for the action, sci-fi, thriller type of flicks.
It started off with some scenes that I felt like I'd seen before in other movies but around 20 mins or so in the film really came alive. I started to actually care about the characters. This film takes place in 2 timelines, one where the cast is in their early 20's and one where they are in their early 50's. While the younger actresses held their own it was their older, veteran counterparts that really drew me in. Their acting and chemistry was top notch. Yes there were some corny parts and I understand why the rating is in the 6's but man their ability to deliver on emotional scenes nearly had me in tears like three times. Yet the film never felt too heavy, it would get deep when necessary then lighten back up like a rain cloud dispersing for the sun.
I'm glad I watched this one, I enjoyed it so much I recommended it to my mom and she really loved it. IMDB only lets you give whole numbers but I'd say it was a 6.8/10, which for me is a pretty solid score.

I felt like this movie was moving so slow. It took me three days to get to the half way point. It definitely sped up after that and became more interesting. It had every single element of drama you'd expect but somehow it was still sweet and heartwarming. I really enjoyed my way to the end. The casting was spot on for the characters! Tati, Aunjanue, Uzo, Sanaa and the up and comers did this film justice. Tati deserves an award for her acting in this! Some of the comedic scenes were obnoxious, but I get it. It's not necessarily something I'd watch twice. Over all, I'm giving it an 8 as it did capture my interest!
Loaded with an amazing cast that has such a huge body of work I'm not surprised I enjoyed it. But as a movie I felt it was a little rushed through the story. This heartfelt story of three strong women from their birth and upbringing to their older years has been a welcomed viewing.
The tragedy and triumphs depicted are some that many of us can relate to and though the story skims over some of the emotions one may feel, I think the film hits its mark. If this movie were to be made with the same cast and crew into a miniseries, of six or more episodes, I would give it a 10 out of 10. Perhaps they thought people wouldn't embrace a series and felt cutting it down to two hours would be more agreeable for most viewers.
