Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple,” adapted by Blitz Bazawule, seamlessly integrates elements from past adaptations into a potent cinematic experience. Tracking Celie’s life portrayed by Phylicia Pearl Mpasi and Fantasia Barrino, the film explores themes of abuse and the strength found in sisterhood. Stellar performances by Mpasi, Barrino, and Danielle Brooks as Sofia add emotional depth to the characters, but Taraji P. Henson’s Shug disappoints with overacting. Visit Flixtor Movies for more!
