Amazing, tragic, and uplifting in a Shakespearean kind of way. I saw it last night with a theater full of talkers and gigglers, good thing. It took the edge off an otherwise Kleenex soaked evening. Lee Daniels is a genius, the cinematography reminiscent of the 50's and 60's where the racy scenes are replaced with less PTSD inducing imagery. This is a true Oscar contender. A must see!
