5/5 Baybeyyyy, we gone dance!
  by Charlie Griffin
I won't pontificate, but whatever you do, rent/buy this film. It is one moving, stirring piece of work. The characters are gritty but lovable. Ms. Merkerson gives a simply outstanding performance. You just want to HUG her! She is the epitome of "Nanny." Anyone lucky enough to have had an older matriarch in a family knows what I'm talking about. One can almost feel her warmth and smell her simmering neck bones on the stove. She brought tears to my eyes--she reminded me so much of what a lot of black American families need--a stabling force to be reckoned with. Just her uttering the title of my review, "Babeyy, we gone dance!" makes me remember the love I had for a great aunt who once had to come to my rescue after witnessing the terror in my eyes upon being approached by a belligerent alcoholic. She was my "Nanny," God bless her...

5/5 "Lackawanna, New York"
  by E. Moore (Schen. NY USA)
Now this a movie worth spending money on. If you have not seen "Lackawanna Blues", then you are missing a treat. The movie is based on actual facts, and the city still functions in upstate New York. The all-star cast of actors, gave excellent portayals of their characters - who were persons that lived in Lackawanna New York - during that period.
Great acting, great story, based on true events, you can't beat that!

5/5 GREAT MOVIE, GREAT CAST, TOUCHING STORY
  by S. Holland (CA)
S. Epatha Merkerson is so real in her role, it is hard to believe she is acting. I can watch this movie over and over again. The music is fabulous! God surely helps those who help others.
