Just out from The Colour Purple. I think it'll mainly appeal to fans of the stage musical, it didn't work as a film for me.

I'm guessing the stage version is 4 hours long as a few of the many songs in the film version last less than a minute.
Also story wise it felt neutered in order to get a 12a rating.
I think I found the original film harrowing at the time.
The musical performances are great and I can see why Danielle Brooks deserved her Oscar nomination.
