Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great acting, great movie
I watched this movie because of Sara Gilbert, wanted to see her in a different role from the wise 'Darlene' of Roseanne, she was amazing playing Sudie, very touching issue, Gossett Jr. is magnificent, what a great actor.! was worth watching.
Rating: - I really enjoyed this movie!

Rating:  - A bit slow, but still slightly interesting....

Anyone who has a problem dealing with racism or child molestation should probably think twice before watching this. Since the movie takes place in the early 40's, it's full of the attitudes of those days-- the idea that sex is a bad thing and women should be ashamed of ... Read More
