    5.0 out of 5 stars "Down in the Delta"
    Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2007
    Verified Purchase
    This film is both heartfelt and funny. Maya Angelou had directed the movie in a straight forward style (no need for camera tricks or flashy embellishments here) and as such delivers a film that builds to an emotional, satisfying ending that should please all. All the acting is first-rate with an especially great performance by Alfre Woodard. The screenplay provides for a wonderful family story to unfold at just the right pace with some pleasant surprises along the way. And, although this is a story about a Black family, any person of any race will be able to identify with the characters and share in this heart-warming experience.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Family Values and Inspiring
    Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I always love movies with a learning experience but when you add the surprise of how much your family history was saved to pass along to each family generation it just becomes inspiring. In the beginning of the movie you caught up with the idea of another case where the mother made bad choices and the grandmother is working hard to keep the family strong, but the story is so much more. If you hang in there, it's gives you a surprising story of strength, courage and why your family history helps develop you to become stronger than you could ever imagine.

    An absolute work of genius on Dr. Maya Angelou's behalf. The acting is phenomenal. Excellent story that despite the date of the film still holds true today. I don't want to tell the movie so I will just say that little boys' fathers are still being sold into slavery by way of modernday institutionalized incarceration. The movie had me in tears. You gotta have this in your collection. Its historical.

    This is an older movie and I was pleased it was in DVD format. It shows how a young woman and her two kids handle a change from the busy environment of Chicago to a more laid back Mississippi. It shows how personal growth can occur through a change in environment. Well worth watching.

    This was received in the time specified and I would purchase from this seller again.
