...the film treads a fine line between saccharine and crowd-pleasing, though there’s no doubt a few moments will elicit tears.

Lyckat när grymma ”Purpurfärgen” blir filmmusikal.

Riktigt lyckat och berörande när den mörka och våldsamma historien från Södern möter musikalens upplyftande dramaturgi. Soul och blues med laddade texter bryter fingertoppskänsligt dramat och resultatet är strålande och gripande.

Barrino, Henson och Brooks är en kraftfull kärntrupp i en genomgående solid ensemble, miljöerna ser fantastiska ut och många musikalnummer är häftigt iscensatta.
