Could have been a lot better

Rating: 4/10 (4 March 2007)

Went to see this movie because my husband loves the Blues. We had seen the trailers and didn't expect much. My husband liked it; I didn't. The movie is difficult for women, especially Black women to sit through. The story is really incomplete and would have been a lot more interesting if they had focused on Lazarus' story more than Rae and her husbands marital, sexual and anxiety problems. I would have liked to know what happened between Lazarus and his wife, beside what he told us. What was his marriage really like? Was he really the innocent victim he makes himself out to be? I seriously doubt it. That would have been very interesting if the writers had chose to pursue it. 4/10
