This movie was like having Maya Angelou come visit. Like sharing a hot cup of coffee and some sweet treats with her. Like having her wrap a warm patchwork quilt around my shoulders. I saw the great woman speak earlier this year, and I can't help but feel that her vision fills every frame of this film. The talented cast adds so much. Alfre Woodard should be declared a national treasure. And seeing the late Esther Rolle portray an Alzheimer's victim nearly broke my heart. Bye, bye, Esther. Bye, bye!
