Great movie
by Tony Johnson
This movie showed a very real story. Queen played a good part. I'm using this as teaching tool for a H.I.V. Sopprt group.

Songs played at end of movie?
by Buckjones (Los Angeles, CA)
At the end of the movie who were these songs singed by? I know the second song sounded like it was Jamie Foxx, the first was by a woman, who was she?
Since there is not no soundtrack to this movie, there should be one!

Touching
by Charles Habersham (Beacon, New York)
This movie brought me to tears. I've lost several friends to AIDS and this movie is just a reminder of the fierce battle we still have.

A Powerful Film
by G. Anderson (New York)
I bought this dvd based on the reviews posted.Queen Latifah does not dissapoint.If you live far away from the big cities and don't care to hear or see some of what affects people of all colors in the big cities, then this is probably not for you.Gritty,real,and heart touching.

Though Queen Latifah is less known for her dramatic skills, films such as
Life Support
drive home the point that this singer turned actress has the chops to build a serious career in movies. Thanks to her work on the sitcom
Living Single
, everyone knows that she's funny. And musicals such as
Chicago
and
Hairspray
prove that her singing talent extends far further than rap. Here, Latifah captivates the audience with her understated performance. Based on the true-life story of writer-director Nelson George's HIV-positive sister, Andrea Williams,
Life Support
stars Latifah as Ana, a recovering junkie who tries to atone for her seedy past by being a loving mom to her 9-year-old daughter. In addition, she takes care of her husband, who also has HIV. But Life Support, an AIDS awareness facility that is an integral part of her life, is where Ana feels most at home. As the movie unfolds, we see how far Ana has come from her rocky beginnings, and how much more she has to accomplish before she can repair the damage from her past. One that seems irreparable is the sticky relationship she has with her estranged teenage daughter, who lives with Ana's mother (wonderfully played by Anna Deavere Smith). While there are some moments in the film that are overly maudlin, giving it more of a Movie of the Week feel than that of a feature film, Latifah's deft touch--as well as superb acting by the supporting cast--make Ana someone we all would like to help, yet are wary of befriending.
