Feb 15, 2023Jennifer Hudson and Forrest Whittaker give wonder performances. Liked this movie way more than I thought I would.

Feb 15, 2023Two and a half hours of disjointed scenes, forced emotions, and awkward dialogue. I loved JH'a voice, but this movie felt like a very long and drawn-out church play with lots of singing. The characters were underdeveloped and we don't really learn enough about her life.... What happened when she was pregnant as a child, what happened so her relationship with Mary H Blige'a character, etc. Too many unanswered questions.... Just meh for me.

Feb 15, 2023As far as I'm concerned the only diva that ever existed was Aretha Franklin. Jennifer Hudson was the perfect choice to portray Aretha. I was moved to tears both by Jennifer's performance and the difficult experiences Aretha had to overcome. If Jennifer Hudson does not get an award for this I will be very surprised and saddened.
