Lackawanna Blues

My dear black people- GET THIS DVD! I love this DVD! It is definitely an African American life experience. I laughed, I cried, and I was able to relate to this believable story in a very real way.(smile).

Very entertaining

I caught just about the last part of this movie one evening on a dish network, and decided to order it so I could see it from the very beginning, I'm so glad I did this is a very entertaining movie in a era that people can relate to, I would recommend this movie to everyone.

I would give it more stars if I could!

Oh how I love this movie! A wonderful true story full of hope and love, music and dancing and some of the best acting you will ever see, S. Epatha Merkerson and Terrence Howard especially, but the whole cast is spectacular. You will laugh and cry and get angry. It's a movie well worth owning.

FABULOUS PERFORMANCES; FINE SCRIPT

THIS IS A FANTASTIC FILM!! Everything about it is great - the cast, the sets, the music, the plot, and the subplots. Never has there been such a fantastic ensemble cast with just more than a dozen excellent roles for African-American actors. Each character is well-developed with "histories" that can turn into spin-offs of this film. S. Epatha Merkerson deserved her Emmy and the young Marcus Franklin has a great future in film. Terrance Howard was both intense and witty - not to mention sexy! Plus there are fine performances by Louis Gossett, Jr., Carmen Ejogo, Jeffrey Wright, Michael K. Williams, Henry Simmons, Ernie Hudson, Charlayne Woodard, Delroy Lindo, and Jimmy Smits. And look out for Macy Gray in a dark alley - she can hide a straight razor in places you wouldn't think of! And the incredible Mos Def stretches his chops as a "jook joint Usher Raymond". Nuff said - go watch the flick and enjoy!

Lackawana Blues -African-American artistry

I found the DVD to be authentic in its' depiction of 1940-1950's era urban African american issues and lifestyles. A great story full of many stories woven together to illustrate the good and bad, struggles and triumphs of life on this planet from multiple Black perspectives. The DVD captures the feelings with precision.
I would recommend this to anyone interested in what "family" is built on.

Based on the award winning play by Ruben Santiago-Hudson this poignant and colorful drama tells the inspirational story of a courageous woman Nanny whose spirit and strength served as the foundation for a struggling community trying to survive during the segregation era. Starring an exceptional ensemble cast led by Jimmy Smits Rosie Perez and Macy Gray this inspiring drama from HBO Films is a celebration of the good things in life no matter how tough times may be.Running Time: 95 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 026359274923
