Eve's Bayou (1997)

Review of Eve's Bayou
Superb writing, directing, and acting abound in this ensemble movie. Samuel L. Jackson and Lynn Whitfield lead the cast as husband-wife and parents who remain in love with each other but whose relationship is strained. But it is a wonderfully talented young Jurnee Smollett who is the real superstar. The movie develops through young Eve's eyes and combines family love and devotion, childhood and pre-teen conflict, with the devastating consequences (both inside and outside the family) of ongoing infidelities. Added to this are the mystery and mysticism of the setting--the Louisiana bayou back countryside and a powerful performance by Debbie Morgan as Eve's spiritualist aunt with her repeated man troubles and you have a not-to-be-missed movie. Kasi Lemons proves to be an outstanding up and coming director and it is too bad it wasn't deemed Oscar-worthy--especially Jurnee Smollett's performance.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!
One of my ALL TIME favorite movies ever made. Brilliant acting by the whole cast.

It' great!
The product came in a timely fashion. It was exactly what I wanted and in good condition.

I love the service I have been getting from Amazon, even though I have doing business with this company, for such a short time (2 months).

I am a satisfied customer!
